After Pilates
I spotted these two women chatting near Madison Avenue and loved their coordinated sporty looks. When I asked if I could take their photograph, they replied, “Sure, we just left Pilates class. Guess how old we are. We are both in our 80s.” I better get myself to Pilates fast!!!
Bristol Farms, Rancho Mirage
I was having breakfast in Rancho Mirage the day before my screening when I noticed this wonderful woman sitting across from me. I generally don’t like to bother people in public spaces, but I just had to get up and ask her for a photograph. After we were finished, I apologized about taking her away from her breakfast and she replied, “There is always another meal, but there’s not always an opportunity like this.”
