Body Language


I was painting today, so didn't photograph at all. This is an image from one of the trips to the city with Liz a couple of weeks ago. We were both standing on a subway train and I happened to look down and saw this woman sitting. There was something about her body language that grabbed my attention. I am not sure what it was. I thought of it as a picture maybe, then discarded the thought. Then I looked again, and this time reached for the camera on my belt. My main concern was that the woman NOT notice that I was taking her picture, so I was very careful, and only did two exposures. I think the red pocketbook is an important element in the photograph. And I am not sure why, but it does seem important.
