100 Strangers on film. #46 ~ Michelle

Nikon FM2, 50mm Nikkor, Rollei Retro 100 film

The more modern phoneboxes are so unspectacular compared to the classic red jubilee boxes designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. I wasn't about to start waxing lyrical about them to Michelle when I met her in Southport on August 9th, but I did point out - with my tongue in cheek - that I'd take her photo next to the sexy backdrop of a phonebox and how did that sound?
Michelle was worried she looked a mess having just finished work for the day at one of Southport's brasseries and was stood waiting for her lift home when I introduced myself to her.
She was very easy to chat to and had a relaxed manner that I hope comes across in this photo.

This picture is #046 in my 100 strangers project where I am only using film, not digital. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com
