Returned to the Michigan Renaissance Festival after many years of holding back for some reason. There was this man selling these chocolates on a stick that were very similar to Snickers bars. I asked if I could take his shot and he gladly complied. I really liked the way his facial hair had little bits of grey and his outfit was put together really well. There were so many people this year that just didn't look as legitimate as this man did.
No, this is not HDR... LOL!
