Whispered words of love enraptured him

The elements for Utata's Iron Photographer 147 are as follows:
1 - a hat
2 - something trans (like subway transit)
3 - six word story (well, more like caption, as I'm no Hemingway - but feel free to give it a shot ;)

Alternate captions: Love songs in transit; happiness rising

Michael and Sarah were rehearsing a song in the crowded subway, oblivious to the busy environment all around. The fellow with the hat was not one of the more interesting of the people with hats I'd seen that day - but there he was. After a few quick discreet shots from the hip, but waiting a little so as not to break this sweet moment, I introduced myself; Michael is an actor, and she is a costume designer for theaters and shows . One aspect of shooting strangers in the subway is that you often don't have all that much time to talk.

Besides being my Utata's Iron Photographer 147 (Utata registration required) submission, this picture is also #49 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com. Also made Explorer when posted, March 26 2012.
