Strangers 32/100 A Very Special Little Lady

This is Jessica who I met last Sunday at the Cultural Center. Her sugar skull makeup was really something and it immediately.caught my attention. I had to speak to Jessica through her carer who could sign. Jessica is 24 and is deaf. Two years ago Jessica found out she is going blind. None of this stops Jessica from being a happy little lady who had a smile for everyone. I only know a few signs, one of them being thank you which probably looked more like I was blowing Jessica a kiss. Either way it made her smile even bigger. Thank you, Jessica, for taking the time to talk to me.

This picture is 32 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
