Union is the least populated town in the state. It is just east of U.S. Route 84 as the highway runs into Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Most of the traffic in Albie's store is from locals and regular visitors, who check in once a week to see what is new.
Love your portrait series. It's something I´d like to do but for the moment I haven´t the courage.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a nice old man.
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait, a sweet one.
ReplyDeleteAlbie made a good choice for retirement; love antique shops for browsing and photographing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely warm portrait! When you say they come into the antique store to "see what's new", I take it you mean "to see what's old"! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can retire to a job like Abie's some day soon. Great portrait.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could visit Albie's store. Nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful portrait as always, Jack, and such a warm, kind face Albie has! Wonderful! And what a great retirement job he chose! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait, Jack. That's a nice job for a retired man.
ReplyDeleteVery nice portrait, though personally, when I retired it wasn't to take on another occupation. I like being retired!
ReplyDeleteAlbie has a very welcoming face. He looks like the kind of guy I'd enjoy have a chat with and learning a little about some antique in his store. I dare say, there is just a twinkle of mischief in his eye.
ReplyDeleteI think he has retired to do what a lot of people can only dream about doing! Lucky man.
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait, Jack!
Nice looking gentleman. Hope he's doing well. Did you buy anything?
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Florida Fotos: I couldn't but start singing "Wherever I go, 'egos." Don't ask why.
Great portrait of a still-handsome man. You do find people with the loveliest faces, Jack - or maybe it's just the way you take them!
ReplyDeleteHe just has the sweetest face.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that the three key attributes of a retail operation are location, location and location. Someone has to be the exception to the rule. Who could doubt the fairness of a price quote from such a kindly face?
ReplyDeleteNice portrait.
ReplyDeleteI would be a regular for sure, super portrait of this gentleman Jack.
ReplyDeleteI adore his smile! :D
ReplyDeleteA very good portrait!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a gentle soul. Love the old rotary phone in the background. I'm really not one for antiquing, but I'd be happy to chat with Albie.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a happy and kind man!!
