Leather Girl by soboy5

Leather Girl

We met this very friendly young lady in a shop that sold leather goods, hence the name of today's image. She spoke no English at all, which made our initial conversations a trifle one-sided. However, with the help of the translator app on my iphone, we were able to communicate a bit. This shop had wonderful handmade leather goods and after she and I bantered about in my broken Spanish for a while, she then showed me other leather items that were not on display - such as riding crops and bullwhips, leading me to believe the translator program was not working exactly the way I thought! Needless to say, it was quite the amusing visit!
iPhone translation has got me out of a sticky situation once or twice before. It's awesome. Beautiful portrait and she's got a lovely smile.

That's a pretty funny story, Danny. Love the colors of this shot, but I'm not sure I'd trust my iPhone translator anymore. ;-)
