55_Calm and beautiful.jpg

This girl was so beautiful. When I saw her, I was struck by her exceptional eye expression, a kind of eye expression that seemed a little puzzled, that didn't seem to belong to her age.
At first I hesitated for a second. Not like photographing a baby or a toddler, I always talk to them and press the shutter when they're not aware of my camera.
But she's not a toddler, and I couldn't pretend I wasn't aiming at her. I didn't know if she would feel offended, so I just smiled at her, and made a gesture asking her if she would mind.
She might find it interesting, but did not nod or shake her head or hid her face with her hand. She would have been more alert if I were a man. I took a picture. I showed it to her. She was happy.
Her ride was about to take off. She waved to me.
Those impressive eyes.
