While wondering around aimlessly Downtown in search of a story I found myself in an alley. As I approach the other side I start to see a woman sitting down. From my perspective she was tucked away so I made sure to get her at more of an angle. She was really engaged to whatever was happening on her phone because I took many pictures without her noticing. If this were not street photography I would have gotten on my knee and would have placed the background more strategically. However I was on the move so I wanted to take this photo fast. The background really gives this photo more of a story. She is obviously a lady on a smoke break of sorts on her phone. Without the context of the street in the background the viewer would not know that she has tucked herself in this isolated area. With that added feature this photo becomes very visually appealing. I was really happy to come home to see that this photo turned out how I hoped it to.
