Bill Jay says it best, I think ...

.

"Look, this is life. It is everywhere, and is here for the taking. I am alive and I know this, now, in a more profound way than when I am doing anything else. These sights are ephemeral, fleeting treasures that have been offered to me, and me alone. No other person in the history of the world, anywhere in all of time and space, has been granted this gift to be here in my place. And I am privileged, through the camera, to take this moment away with me. That is why I photograph." - - Bill Jay

I'm frequently asked if this shot was posed. No, in fact, I only got it because I happened to think of the 180 degree rule ... look behind you for a shot, too.

This is a portrait of Chelsea Marie, the Timbuktuu Coffee Bar barista; took a series of her pretty much on a whim last July and they worked out well.
