I was shooting the Tampa Bay Criterium (bike race) when a group walked nearby.  Their id ribbons identified them as "thespians," and indeed we were half a block from the Tampa Theatre. 

"Are you thespians?" I asked, restraining myself from explaining that I have thespian friends.  I was greeted with this cheerful shot.

I met this lady on an August evening at Oakville harbour.  She seemed interested in the fact that I was a photographer.  I told her that if I liked the picture, I would put it up on my web site.

She was part of a small film project, which was being filmed in the harbour, probably for the background offered by Lake Ontario.

You never know who you will meet at Buskerfest.

Kind of pleased with the sharpness.  According to the EXIF data, this was shot at 1/17 sec.

I told her I wanted to do a selfie.  She didn't quite get it, but she agreed.  When I showed her the result, she got it.
