We were looking for a gift to send our daughter, Clare, when we met Mary Ellen, who greeted us with the offer of a cup of green tea with lemon. There were no other customers so we soon fell into conversation and Mary was happy to have her photo taken.
I wanted to post both a traditional portrait photo and the full length shot so I decided to make a collage of Mary Ellen in her work environment.. The mimosa background is from a shop display and I made the collage on Picasa 3.
When she is not at work, Mary Ellen loves dancing: especially tap dancing (this reminded me of having red tap shoes with red ribbons as a child!) and lindyhop, and 60s music, in particular Northern Soul.
Babs, yes, I sent her each photo individually and also the collage. I'm now sending photos via email to each person who is willing to be in my project.
what an excellent idea to do a collage as part of your strangers series Haze.

Janice, thank you so much for your comment. I hesitated a bit before doing this but then decided to be bold!
