I noticed this woman as I was walking up from the shore the other night. She was sitting, by herself, staring at the ocean and watching the sunset. I asked her if I could take her photograph and at first she couldn’t understand me, she spoke Russian. Then she said, “I’m not beautiful.” I told her that she is beautiful and that’s why I wanted to take her photograph…because that was the truth. I hope that if and when I am her age, that I look as beautiful as her and that I go to the beach to appreciate the sun setting over the ocean.
