We had pulled into a little gas station/market that was a back road on a back road, as we headed from Hernandez to Taos, New Mexico. The two people here were standing in front of the store, enjoying an idle conversation. Suffice it to say that over the years, I've found it easier to meet people and ask them if I can make their portrait. Sometimes they say yes, as was the case here, and sometimes everyone enjoys the process, as was the case here, too.
