It was Nottingham Pride this weekend. a popular event in the Nottingham summer calendar.
This is where I met Kirsty. She was sat on the step of a doorway in Hockley.
Kirsty was dog sitting a really cute Yorkshire Terrier named Bailey.
"Why was Kirsty sat in a doorway dog sitting?" I hear you ask.
Well Kirsty's best friend Sue is a musician and was performing in the street a few metres away from Sue.
I told Kirsty, I'd took a picture of Sue on the Pride Parade and I liked her dog.
When I asked Kirsty for a photo, Kirsty was happy to sit for me (well she really was actually sitting...if you see what I mean),
Sue's dog was named Bailey and was saying hello to me and jumping on my knees as I was photographing Kirsty.
Kirsty's friend was Sue Warren a local singer, songwriter and ukulele player
Sue's website is here

Kirsty gave me her email address and I told her I would email her some pictures form our photo shoot. I hope Kirsty likes this shot and the images I sent to her.
I edited this image in Rawtherapee and decided to convert it to mono as the mono gives a nice urban feel to the image. Sue's smile also lifts the image and gives it high impact.
Thanks for being a stranger in my series Kirsty :)
FOOTNOTE: I have received feedback from Kirsty and she thinks the four images I sent to her are great :) . It is really nice when the person you took a photo of likes the photos :)
