San Francisco, 2007
I just missed nailing the focus on this, but I still rather adore it. I was sitting directly behind this woman and her companion as we traveled down Market Street on a streetcar. I was fascinated with her wrinkled skin and the big fur she was wearing (not being a member of PETA, I didn't throw red paint on her, heh). And it wasn't until I reviewed the thumbnail later that I realized I'd captured that wild smile. I'm pretty sure she realized I had taken her photo, but she didn't say anything in her French-accented English. Perhaps before long I'll work up more courage to ask people outright to pose.
Anyway, this opportunity reminded me of some of the nifty street portraits my friend ray does so well.
