SAY CHEESE
Meet Pauline.
She works at the cafe where I get my coffee, and she's wonderful.
A few days ago she asked me if I would photograph her
because she hasn't seen her family in a long time and she wanted to send them some pictures.
She kept giving me looks like this so finally I suggested she might want to smile.
"I don't smile" she said, "they wouldn't recognize me if I did"

Great explanation to go with the photo.

Cool gauzy backdrop just sets her out front beautifully.
They'll love seeing her like this I'm sure.

Interesting story about her. I like that you put her off-center.

Yes, indeed..a rather stern expression. I like your POV!
Guest 11-Oct-2006 03:10
There it is! That expression is priceless. The background shading is also a nice touch. Bravo.
