At the wine bar

I came across this girl while walking around in Toruń Poland. She’s a waitress at a place where you can taste wine (and drink coffee and eat cake and and etc etc). I walked past her noticing her sitting there smoking her sigarette in a way only women can smoke a sigaret. A bit intimidated by the scene I walked past and through the gate of the old city wall. Out by the road I sat on a boulder lying around being boulder. I motivated my self to walk back there and use by best Polish to convince here that having your portrait taken by someone you don’t know with a 40 year old camera is a good idea. Sufficed to say, I needed little convincing and I walked back before she could finish her sigarette. I used my best Polish and, what do you know, she agreed. I ducked down low next to a parked car and I shot the single frame which became this image.
