Scrounger
The lady was gather up anything that she could return and get cash back. After a brief conversation I asked her if I could take her picture. She quickly went into this pose for me. I was surprised at how eager she was.
A most interesting shot of an interesting person... Oh yes--- I'm not so much of a rail buff as much as I simply love to take pictures of the things. They are BIG!
A touching picture of a proud woman.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that she cooperated. For some reason, I wouldn't think she would.
ReplyDeleteDid she ask for money for the pose?
ReplyDeleteThere are still a few hard working folks out there.
ReplyDeleteSeems we all are flattered to be the centre of something positive, like posing for our portrait.
ReplyDeleteI bet she has a few interesting stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteNice street portrait Andy
ReplyDeleteSome street people are very proud and very feisty. She's got a great pose!
ReplyDeleteHer scrounging is helping to make the world a cleaner place :-) I'm glad she posed for you, I doubt I would have had the nerve to ask.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that she didn't mind.

ReplyDeleteA friendly Maritimer? They all seem to be so nice.
ReplyDeleteYou got it.
DeleteAn important genre, I think.
ReplyDeleteLooks like she enjoyed getting her portrait made.
ReplyDeleteGood for her! We often look down on pickers but they perform a valuable service.
ReplyDeleteYou must have asked at the right moment.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought she would have said no.
I like the 'directness' with the camera, well done her..
