Grace and Beauty
At Albuquerque’s recent Art Festival flamenco dancers entertained the crowd and this young woman looked so graceful and beautiful I just had to take her photograph. I hope she doesn’t mind.

Funny thing – I just asked a stranger again today. Maybe I’m getting less awkward with it.
coffeebean replied
Hey that’s great…..go for it…good luck..I’m sure most people are happy to oblige. Do you worry about these things called model release forms?? I must try to get some more people shots too one of these days.

What is there about this that I find so captivating? The colors. The intrique. The shapes of her neck and her hair. The contrast between the flowers and her dark hair. Perfect lighting. Her posture. Just everything. I’m Favoriting this!
