Francophone Girl


This was taken two nights ago, a portrait of a francophone twin girl with aspirations to reach the stars one day. She told me that the title of my picture was "Boredom." So I would like to tell everyone that the title of my picture is "Boredom." But, if I could have my way the title, the theme of the picture, would be "Gaze." It's almost like one of those intense Calvin Klein commercials, except in color. I liked the contrast between the brown of her skin, the black clothes with the bright green hat. Have you ever gotten the feeling that, while you look through your camera at someone to take a picture, they are not simply looking at the camera or posing for the camera, but looking at you? Sometimes I want to say, "Why are you staring at me?"
