I was on the MetroNorth heading to a shoot when I passed by this elegant woman in a neighboring seat. I didn’t want to bother her on the train so I waited to see if she would get off on the same stop as me. As luck would have it she was heading to Irvington too! As she got off the train I asked if I could take her photograph. She said, “Do you know how old I am? I’m 85.”

I saw this beautiful woman picnicking in Echo Park last week. She told me that she was visiting from Guadalajara and that she was having a wonderful time relaxing in the park. Before taking her photo, she generously offered me a slice of her orange!
