CONTEST time!!! Spread the word!! -- Penny for your thoughts... I'd love to hear from all my followers to see what you think of this years images. Leave a comment about your favorite image on my Instagram feed right now and I'll pick a name from a hat after one week, then I'll send an 8x10 or 8x8 print to the winner. Tag your friends if you want more chances to win, just make sure they know that if their name is pulled, you get the picture.. If they comment with their own favorite, then that counts as their own entry. Open to anyone, the more friends you tag, the more times your name goes in the hat!!!

Albert -- I met this fellow today. 84 years old out shopping for a new car. He used to play accordion but said he forgets the songs sometimes. He had a 50 year old girl friend once, but she died of cancer 12 years ago. Such vigor for a man of advanced years. -- #bandw #lj #albert #bw_france #bw #hony #street #leejeffries #blackandwhite
