Stranger #4/grace

    Isn't it funny how our personalities are often so easy to read? We were next to her family during the airshow and I had been watching her from behind and admiring her hat, especially up against her shoulders. Most of her family were elderly and she interacted with them gracefully. I didn't get a name for my 4th stranger (will have to work on that) but I complimented her on her hat; she seemed flattered that I would want to take a photo.

      Great shot with lovely light and shallow DOF. I especially like the splash of polka dot scarfe!

      A good demonstration that a good portrait doesn't have to be front.

      Wonderful summer shot. Love the simplicity of it. Really impressed you are doing the stranger project. I am afraid to approach people. It's also clever to photograph them anonymously if they prefer.

      this is such a cool project - you must be having a blast participating.
      this is a great shot - it does such a beautiful job of evoking a mood, and the light and composition are perfect.
