character. (rome, italy)
she was sitting outside a chapel in rome--the maria maggiore i believe-- and i walked by at first just like hundreds had undoubtedly done before. her gaze haunted me, though, and i returned to sit for awhile. i made several unsuccessful attempts to start a conversation, and then just decided to spend time with her without saying a word. after a few minutes, i pulled out my camera and motioned that i would like to take her picture if that would be ok with her. she kindly nodded and smiled, and i captured this image. i emptied my wallet into her woven basket and thanked her for our time together. i wish i could have done more.
