jessica . 22 years old / colorado springs, colorado
i was down in colorado springs to shoot a wedding with a friend of mine. there wasn't time to look for strangers before the wedding, and while i did photograph strangers all day long, they didn't count, so after the reception, we went out searching.
we only walked a few minutes before a saw these yellow stripes on a young woman sitting across the street. she was on her telephone, so i waited until she hung up and then trotted across the street and called after her.
jessica was very sweet. she didn't take much convincing to be the stranger of the day, which was such a relief because i was exhausted from the wedding. we walked across a parking lot towards a shaded wall and i started firing away.
my camera malfunctioned (again!) after i had taken 8 pictures, so i ended up losing those first shots. i'm started to lose my patience with my camera! jessica was a good sport, though, and gracefully put up with my ill-performing equipment.
she has been studying sociology and religion at colorado college and is about to graduate on monday. i remember how great that felt, so i imagine she's pretty excited. we didn't talk for very long, but i did discover that she used to play soccer, which is another one of those activities that makes you a-ok in my book.
that does it for this day. short and sweet. thanks for your time, jessica!
