It's never too late to comment. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to do it. You might also enjoy tomorrow's picture of the day--especially since there will be a caption contest where I'll be giving away a $20 Amazon gift card. I hope you'll take part. Should be fun. Based on your beautifully-written comment, I bet you'd come up with a good one. Stephanie, so glad to see you dropped by my blog. It’s never too late to comment.

I remember looking through all of the pictures you posted on your very first blog and this one captured my imagination. Her outfit, her expression, her formality seemed to barely tolerate the quickly moving world around her. And yet she does not seem at all out of place! Wonderful, Becky! Loving your blog and can't wait for your book. Sorry to comment on this a little after the fact, but I’m so glad you shared the origin of this picture.

He just moved to get the angle he thought would work best. And yes, he only had time for two frames.

I was just wondering if he asked the woman to turn for the profile? Did she even know he was shooting her? And I read he only took 2 photos. Is that right? That is a great photo, as all of his are.

I was at a very poor home in the Philippines in the 1970s. I was a smoker then and lifted a carbage can lid to flick my cigarette ashes. The dear owners of the home quickly stopped me and I saw the entire garbage can (large aluminum type) was full of rice. That was basically all they ate and all they had to eat. They had no room for a garden and no animals for meat. I'll never forget the few days I spent with them. They were precious and survivors. Once again, had to comment.
