Comments: I had been talking with this elderly woman at the assisted living facility where she lived for nearly an hour; small talk about her family and her past. I kept my cameras packed away because of her shyness and reluctance to submit to a photograph. There was a large glass door to her left that was pouring in beautiful soft light. Each time I started to bring out a camera she would stop talking and seem uncomfortable. At some point she became very involved in telling a story and would pause and stare longingly towards the door. I casually pulled out a camera and clicked a few, then put the camera down. A few minutes later she looked at me blankly and asked if I'd just taken her picture. Yes, I said, is that okay? Well, I guess so, she said, the damage is already done isn't it?  HC
