It is not every day you get to meet people from facebook and flickr from the other side of the world. Lynx 188 was out today by special request from Stevie Choey who had came all the way from Australia. Having his own Hong Kong bus the Guy was a clear winner for the guided tour.
I was on my way home on the subway after attending class and doing an errand in downtown Toronto this afternoon. I saw this lovely woman sitting on the subway car across from where I was standing. Her clear, sparkling blue eyes grabbed my attention and I hoped she didn’t catch me staring at her. I was reflecting on a newspaper column I had read this morning drawing attention to our youth-obsessed society and bemoaning the fact that we seem incapable of embracing the fact that beauty is not limited to the young. It also commented on the popularity of plastic surgery which often makes people look worse rather than better.
When the subway came to the next station I noticed that this woman with her shopping bag was struggling to stand. I stepped across the aisle and gave her my arm to hold onto she got to her feet. She apologized, saying “It’s just getting up that’s hard. Once I’m up I’m ok.” I let her know I understood and on an impulse I got off the train with her even though it was one station before my stop.
On the platform I told her I am an amateur photographer doing a project photographing people I don’t know and that her beautiful eyes and serene face had caught my attention on the train. “They’re blue” she said. “Yes, I noticed. And a very nice blue.” She went on: “I’m Irish.” When I asked about her heritage (she had no Irish accent) she said “I’m told I’m Irish but that was about five generations ago.” “Would you consider letting me photograph you for my project? I could do it quickly upstairs where there is more light” “Yes, I believe that would be ok” she said.
At the top of the escalator I noticed nice light was streaming through the station windows and I told her I could make the photograph right there. I positioned her and asked her to look into my camera and I took five exposures. All of them were quite similar.
Suddenly she announced “I’m Sheila and I’m 85. Now I must go home.” I thanked her and wished her well.
Thank you Sheila for participating in 100 Strangers. You are now Stranger #372 in Round 4 of my project.
I hadn’t passed through the turnstyle yet so I took the stairs back down to the platform and caught the next train to complete my trip home.
