Stranger 328 - Sue
Sue on the sunny side, when there was a little cloud overhead.
Sue was sitting quietly as I approached her and asked if I might take her photo for my strangers project. At some point near the start of our conversation, I asked if she was OK with me taking a few minutes of her time. She said that she had already been here for 2 hours; she was quite happy to sit and chat. Sue had travelled up from the south coast very early this morning. She had only decided last night to spend the day today in Glastonbury.
Sue, a mother of 3, had last come up the Tor a year ago. At that time she was five months pregnant and huffing and puffing when she reached the top. Today she had been surprised at how easy the ascent was. I still huff and puff, even though I come up the Tor regularly. Sue is a lot fitter than me.
Currently on maternity leave, Sue told me that she works with Yoga, Pilates, Reflexology and Reiki. She looks forward to getting back to working with people, connecting and healing. I think that today Sue was taking a bit of a breather. She told me that she is "releasing the breaks", "traversing the open road" and wants to "allow everything to unfold without limitation".
Sue was sitting on the sunny side of the Tor. I took a few photos as a cloud passed overhead briefly but as soon as it had gone over, the sun was harsh again. We moved to the shade of the tower and Sue sat for a few more portraits before we moved back to the sunny side for a little more conversation.
Sue said that she was pleased that I had chosen her today. I said that I was glad that I had chosen her. We reviewed the photos together and Sue told me which three she liked the best. This photo wasn't one of the three that Sue picked but I have uploaded it because I like it.
Thank you Sue for letting me take your portrait for my project. It was good to meet you today.
