Crossroads.
This is the actress Dorea Schmidt. I met her at night on the National Mall. She had gone for a run in between shows of a play she was starring in at the Arena Stage. We talked about all sorts of things and were on the same wavelength. I took this photo when she turned for a moment of reflection to a question. We are all headed to a set of crossroads, at which point we'll have to decide what's next? Reflection, courage, commitment, and some humor with a touch of adventure will get you a long way. But, in the end the choice is only ours. The row of Bokeh lights that cuts across Dorea's eyes and disheveled hair gives the image a pulsating tension and urgency that often accompanies the challenging nature of arriving at a crossroads.
