Probably a Stranger

A  L  O  H  A !
Marin CA Lady

“. . .sometimes one feels freer 
speaking to a stranger
than to people one knows. 
Why is that?"
“Probably because a stranger 
sees us the way 
we are, not as 
he wishes to 
think we are.” 
                       Carlos Ruiz Zafón








Honolulu Lady

“Beauty is not who 
you are on the outside, 
it is the wisdom and time 
you gave away to save 
another struggling soul, 
like you.” 

             Shannon L. Alder

Last week,
I saw the lady in the first photo
at Costco here in California.
"Ma`am, you look so nice with
the plant you have chosen;
May I take your picture?"

Honolulu Lady was photographed
in a store in Honolulu a while
back, with similar permission.
Both seem to convey
a lot about their area
while sharing a 
fundamental beauty!


Thank You
Friend!
Fondly,

Lovely captures of these women. You have more guts than I do. I am so uncomfy asking people if I can photograph them. Usually.

Yes, I am uncomfy asking people, but you are. Lovely.

I love spontaneous photos of people best...not for me the posed look.
