Hi Kristin. The first word that ran through my mind when I saw the image was Appalachia. She seems to be quite a character and by the looks of her wiry appearance, lifting those spoons has kept her fit.Interesting note and photo. Regards. Klaudio.

Great look at a fun artist! Just slow enough shutter to show some movement -- well done!

What ink, too! And at her left foot -- is that one of those little "Ring for Service" reception-desk bells? What a great musical addition!

Good note, too, Kristen!

Best regards,

Hello Kristin,
I guess that when others mention Appalachia, they actually hear the soundtrack of Deliverance in their heads. At least I do, and almost get the creeps. These people look harmless enough, but you never know... ;-)
Abby looks happy but clearly life must have been tough on her (for reasons unknown). She is very expressive and you captured her at a fine moment when the gestures of her hands almost make me hear the sound of her spoons.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Kristin,

Queue up some Soundgarden...it may be a woman featured here, but I keep hearing Spoonman in my head! :) Great shot of these two, cookin' up some hometown tunes of which kitchen utensils are used as an instrument. Loving this setting too, the twisted metallic backdrop gives this a junkyard charm that seems so very fitting for this scene being played out.

So much character and life portrayed in this image, and another wonderful depiction of the real, every day life moments that most would pass by. You certainly have a great intuition to capture these opportunities, and I'm glad you share them here with the rest of us. Just one question though, where's her right foot? ;) Don't let anyone give you any grief over that, it's a delightful image! Take it easy,

Jason

Hi Kristin
This is so good! a wonderful opportunity well grabbed and accompanying story, I love the straight forwardness capture too no messing about. Sheis in a world of her own fully focus playing the spoons and her banjo man is really doing his best to add something, ticking all the right box and tugging all the right strings. There's a good sense of the way musicians interact and of energy and rhythm and their jolly characters. It is such a simple photo, yet the quality is just perfect. You have this way of shooting lots of different subject and they all turn out so well and this is seriously brilliant portraiture & street photography. Nice work Kristin, Congrats and tfs
Best regards

Hi Kristin!
Just a pitty we cannot listen:)! I have never heard such instrument but it seems really interesting. A nice portrait with nice details, including her tattoos.
