Photographer’s Note

it was the end of the day, we were pretty much exhausted after walking all the time & then she showed up.

with the speed of light she was cruising on her skateboard between frustrated pedestrians waving their hands at her & spitting nasty words. as you can imagine, she kinda noticed me pointing those freaking huge lens at her - she slowed down, approached with curiousity & even smiled [ i think ] & the quickly dissapeared before i put down my camera.

it's not the best portrait ever but i really like it, so i thought i could share it with some of you (:

Hi Marek,
Nice portrait you have here, and I like the story in the note as well, it "wraps" very nicely around the photo :)
Cheers,
Tudor

Howdy Marek,

Very nice portrait, well captured, and as Tudor stated the story strengthens the image.

It's funny how sometimes the unexpected image presents itself and turns out to be our favorites.

Warmest Regards,

Craig
