The Show Me State

These photos are from. S. Sontheimer DeVaughan from Missouri.  There is a saying (though I don’t know who said it) that eyes are the windows to the soul.  If that is the case, then photography is like looking into that window (and why some cultures viewed photographs as stealing a part of your soul).  Looking at this set of photos, I see a sunny disposition (and not just in the actual lighting, but the morning setting helps).

What I like here is the sense of community that is shared at a farmer’s market.

I liked the contrast of the red jacket the most in this picture.

The longer shadows tell me it had to be kind of early for this picture to be taken and it usually necessary to be early to get the best items at a farmers market.  The next three photos give a nice snapshot of what appears to be a nice neighborhood with restaurants and cafes to hang out.  Makes you want to move in next door.

  1. Yea!!! I've been looking forward to seeing if there were any winners in the batch! Glad you liked some of them. And yes, I would say a sunny disposition is most assuredly had by this photographer!
