HoaK Photography's photostream  

We met Leesa (I think that's how you spell it..) at the Target Centre on Lt Bourke St hiding from the loud and busy Chinese New Year celebrations outside.
Andrew and I were sitting, having a drink and resting from the heat when along comes this girl standing across from us texting away on her iPhone.
Being one who cannot resist photographing beautiful and interesting people, I approached her to ask if I can take a photo of her. To my surprise, she let me take a few, ask to see them, did not like what she saw and ask me to take some more of different poses and locations.
Her English was poor and it turns out, she is from Japan and in Australia for a period of time to improve her English speaking skills. Well, it's a good thing we were there to help her out in practising her conversation skills. :-)

This is my 5th stranger in the 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100strangers.com/
