20060220 / Street Smile

Chinatown / San Francisco, CA

Out on the street passing out literature and rallying against the Communist Party,
she had time to offer a shy smile. The fellow below, despite the strong statements
on his placard, bellowed to everyone that passed by 'Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!
To you and your Grandma, too!' Right on, dude.

Missed this one.. one of the best portraits you've done.. Perfect comp, lighting, tones, focus, clarity..
but you and I know it's more than that - the thing that makes a photo grab one.
It is her shy smile.. he honest look into your lens.. the life it speaks of..

Yeah the shy smile and crooked cap make this excellent Chris. What a joy to photograph.

I love this black and white version too (I saw the colour one first).
You processed it with subtlety.
It's really a stunning portrait.
This is an exceptional image for me. V
