the stranger, toronto canada, august 2005

[zyzyly]

I was wandering around toronto taking pictures and came across an urban park where there were all sorts of people doing all sorts of things.
I watched this woman for a while as she sat at the fountain.
There was a certain vulnerability that attracted me to her.
Even though I never saw her face, I knew that there was something wrong.
She held her head in her hands.
I considered asking her if she was ok. But I didn't.

When I look at this picture, I wonder what it was that kept me from talking to her.

Wow, I can really relate to that photo. Agree with the comment that she is probably coming to terms with a huge disappointment.

Makes me want to give her a hug.
