On the Surface

She walked into the gym and plopped down on the bench in the area where we parents wait for our little ones. I've seen her before. She wears strappy little tops and tight jeans and as you can imagine, she's very difficult to miss in a room of moms that look like middle-age moms. I sat in my chair heads down in American Photo and when I glanced up and to the right, I caught this view. I don't normally ask people I don't know if I can photograph them, but I'm pushing myself these days. So after I snapped this shot, I sat down beside her on the bench and learned that her husband died just four months ago. And that her five-year old daughter misses her dad. And that just beyond this sexy exterior... is a gentle soul.
