Dignified portrait

This is a portrait of a consumer at the Carey Adult Day Care Center run by Catholic Charities, my client. It was the day that former Governor Hugh Carey was to visit]so everyone was dressed up. This is one of my favorite portraits. This young woman was totally un self conscious and agreed willingly to be photographed. I used only window light. The camera was the Canon D-1 and the year was 2003. One must always show respect for the subject being photographed.
