Patron at Po Monkey's juke joint outside Merigold Mississippi. Po Monkey's was one of the last real old time juke joints where there would be a group of regular locals on one side of you and a group of British blues fans on the other side. Sadly, Willie Seaberry, known as "Monkey" died in 2016 and the legend died with him. This patron owned a smaller new juke joint which was open on a different night so she and Po Monkey patronized each other.

Also from Po Monkey's juke joint. See previous photo for details.

technical details: shot on film since I didn't use a digital camera then. Had to be Neopan 400, Tri-X, or HP5 since that was all I shot. Developed in HC-110 since that was my only 35mm developer. Looks like a 21mm lens, either a Biogon on a ContaxG or a Voigtlander Skopar on a Zeiss Ikon. I never paid much attention to any of those things but I do have the subjects name back in my notes.
