Took this one a while ago. Was showing a friend some of my work and found this one again. Don't remember posting it, if I did, I apologize. Was just someone sitting down in Hoboken, NJ one day. Thought it was interesting...

    Shot is well composed. But without your title (actually even with it), I interpret that she is having a senior moment along the lines of "Where did I put my keys?"

    Laughing.gif! That could certainly be what she's thinking. :)

    This does look familiar, but I can't say for sure if I saw it before.

    I get "senior moment" from this too, the two purses on her add something to that feeling as well.
    It's a quietly powerful shot.

    Senior moments can be rough, too. I like it. thumb.gif Have you tried it in B&W? Just a thought.

    This shot and the varying reactions to it serve as a good reminder of both the value, and difficulty, of ambiguity.
