Interesting People.
One of my hobbies is photography in a purely amateur sense. I particularily enjoy taking photos of anyone, especially strangers, who are unaware of being photographed. There are so many interesting faces out there. How few of us really look and see them? I find these faces at their purest and most engaging when they are totally oblivious to the camera.
This lovely woman was at a Fourth of July public celebration in a small Maine town. I have no idea who she is or what stories form her history, but I know that history is there in her face. Look at her face and what do you see? I see a healthy, happy woman who is having a good time. But - look at the eyes. There is something there, a concerned, a lightly thoughtful look. It seems each time I really look at these photos I see a little more. Perhaps the reason I preceive them differently is because I am different every time I view them. We are all in flux.
