Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

Early spring...Strolling through an old flower market in Nice all alone. It was a crisp and fresh morning and I was soaking up all the smells and sounds of the market. I stopped in front of a large antique mirror and an older-looking French guy asked me for my camera. I hesitated, but almost in a state of hypnosis I handed it to him. He pointed the camera at me and at first I just looked at him shyly and then I started to pose, pretending I was a French beauty from the seventeen hundreds. Even though I had no make up and no fancy clothes on (as I was walking alone and planned to only take pictures of the market), but this photo is still my favorite photo of me...taken by a total stranger
