Portrait of Halloween Fairy Girl
2010
Girl dressed as a fairy at a Friends of the Public Library book sale. I asked permission to take photos of her. She seemed to want to be photographed, and had been vaguely following me about, obviously curious about the woman with the camera (I was there to gather photos for a a website), but she was also determined to present as circumspect, even a little angry. She was, however, not wary as she kept turning up in my camera's field of vision. In her pink and spring green fairy costume, she was a lovely contrast to the autumn day, and I trusted the malcontent was a pose and that she enjoyed being photographed and told she had a beautiful costume and had done a nice drawing on the chalk board.
