I left the first class of a course called “The World’s Livable Cities” and was on my way to retrieve my bicycle which was locked in front of the Student Centre on campus. I saw her sitting on a chair in the urban park on campus, reading notes and listening to her iPod through earbuds. She made a striking presence with her silver reflective sunglasses and bright lipstick with the golden October sun bouncing off some fallen leaves and onto her face. I knew I would kick myself if I didn’t approach her and invite her to participate in my Human Family photo project. I had to bend over to get her attention and she removed an earbud and agreed to my request after asking if I had a brochure. Once again, my contact card made it clear that I was serious about my project. She wanted to know if I was in the photography program at the university (It’s a pretty well-known program) and I explained I’m not but that I take some lifelong learning courses for retired people such as myself. Meet Chelsea who was getting ready for class.
I felt the quickest, best option for a portrait that would showcase her attractive features would involve moving the char a meter to one side to remove a line of contrasting paving stones from the grey pavers behind her. She was happy to oblige even though it involved juggling her coffee cup, papers, and bag. I dragged the chair over and gave her the “drill” about looking into my lens and to expect several photos to be taken “to hedge myself against missed focus or some other clumsy mistake.” She understood and I took a few photos with the glasses, then without. I was pretty sure I would want her eyes showing in my chosen portrait but wanted to get the reflective glasses as a comment photo. I had to fiddle with a couple of small details such as the white arm of the chair showing low in the frame (I changed my angle slightly) and a sliver of white shirt showing above her scarf (she and I collaborated on making it disappear – something I’ve gotten more comfortable with in helping my subjects look their best).
At this point I discovered that Chelsea was going to be late for class so the conversation part of the encounter got cheated a bit. Chelsea is 17 and is an English major at the university. She was born and raised in Canada by Vietnamese parents. Her greatest challenge? “Finding a job.” I said “I’ve heard that from English majors before!” and we both laughed. A message to share through the project? “Just be yourself because that’s the best person you can be.”
Thank you Chelsea for taking a few minutes to meet and participate in The Human Family. I hope I didn’t make you late for class. Good luck with your studies (and in finding work).

The Chelsea Physic Garden was established as the Apothecaries’ Garden in London, England, in 1673. (The word "Physic" here refers to the science of healing.) This physic garden is the second oldest botanical garden in Britain, after the University of Oxford Botanic Garden, which was founded in 1621.
Its rock garden is the oldest English garden devoted to alpine plants. The largest fruiting olive tree in Britain is there, protected by the garden’s heat-trapping high brick walls, along with what is doubtless the world’s northernmost grapefruit growing outdoors. Jealously guarded during the tenure of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, in 1983 the Garden became a registered charity and was opened to the general public for the first time. The garden is a member of the London Museums of Health & Medicine.
