I met this woman and her dog, Lottie, yesterday evening on the beach. Doesn't she have a wonderful smile? As she walked toward me I couldn't resist asking if I could take a photograph of her and her dog. I wanted to get an audio recording of her voice, but the wind was so loud and the tide had come in so far that the water was lapping at the feet of my tripod - the noise was just too much to even try recording audio. I did manage to hear her tell me the name of her dog - Lottie.
Sometimes I meet people who just exude happiness and it makes me feel good just seeing them. And, more and more, I am finding the courage to ask if I can take their picture.
