I met Tina while I was walking home from work. At first I passed by her but felt compelled to turn around and ask her for a portrait. I’m happy I did because I think she is one of my favorite portraits thus far – and is of course much different from the people I’m used to photographing on the street!

She was a bit surprised by my request and asked several questions before agreeing. She liked this shot the best out of three. In the end, it was a very brief but worthwhile encounter.
