This is one of those images that I can hear people saying, Why? ...Dunno, I just liked it and have come back to it a few times. It was relaxing when I first came upon it and seeing this image still fills me with the same feeling today. So I'm posting it. This was a great long weekend camping in November with my wife and brother. Goodtimes and I look forward to doing it again soon.

Edna - Redwood City, California. Edna is a survivor, in many ways. She recently had medical issue but has made a full recovery. She was so kind and we shared a love of photography. We talked for quite a bit about pictures and what they mean to people. It was a genuine pleasure meeting her. She kindly agreed to allow me to take her portrait when we were chatting away about the my project. I asked for her to take her glasses off and she did but soon put them back on explaining that they were part of her as much as anything else could be. So we took photos with them on too. I like this one the best though as you can see the spark in her eyes. Thanks Edna.

Here I am using my much loved 135L. I don’t think I need to explain why I love it, just take another look. This photo was taken at 2 in the afternoon under harsh conditions. I used a Lastolite Tri-grip 2-Stop diffuser and asked Edna to hide in its shade. I made sure to set this shot up with a nice dark green ivy in the BG for color to match her blouse.
