betty . 58 years old / boston . massachusetts
fall returned to boston today. that air. that boston fall air is really something else. i took my bike out and headed downtown in the early afternoon. i had an appointment for a haircut at 5 pm, so i left myself plenty of time to find the perfect person today.
i locked by bike after finding a nice window to use as my backdrop. i asked a young woman today who looked at me with more condescension than i have ever seen before. i felt like a vagrant, begging for money. she could barely slow her pace to acknowledge my presence, then she shook her head in a disapproving "no". that was a real confidence killer.
and then there was betty. she might be one of the sweetest ladies i have ever met. she was happy to help me with the project because i told her she could of course have a photo. she was only the second person of the 70 who asked why i chose her. i find that odd.
she was very sweet.
