Naomi, sitting in one of my favorite portrait settings in town, outside of Lazy Dog Chocolateria.
Someone was already taking her photo and chatting with her, and I didn't want to interrupt. But apologizing for doing just that, I introduced myself, asked her name, and asked if I also could take a shot. She laughed a sweet laugh and said she had just noticed her reflection in the window and thought "I look so cute sitting here!"
Normally that would have struck me as a self-conscious, narcissistic comment. But she seemed simply and genuinely appreciative of the fact - because she *was* so very cute sitting there!
I can't resist that kind of unassuming delight and charm in a woman. My pleasure!
This picture is number #03 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.
