This interesting lady with the great hair was selling jewelry in Berkeley the other day...what a great place...I was there from 1964 to 1968...the most interesting time in history to be a college student...some of the people on the street look like they were there with me and never left!

Another great shot;) I would prefer if she had transparent glasses;)) tohave an ooportunity to see her eyes better.
TFS,
Siarhei:)
It's already very cold here. Cold and wet;) I have no mood for street shooting last days:)) Waiting for a May:)

I can't agree with Pozaru about the crop. Think Your choice is perfect:) You just can't cut these hairs off;)

Hi Roger:

Very nice portrait. I like her expression. Great composition.

Nice! I love the character you have captured in this shot. A real sense of hippiness in her glasses and hair.
Nice tight framing, good sharpness and DOF - excellent work as always.

HI Roger
That is a lot of hair, takes me back to the 60s, the hippies the afros, and the dark glasses to hide if they had been smoking pot.
A great shot of the elderly lady who obviously enjoyed posing for you.
Dot

Boa tarde Roger
Usually interesting people make interesting places. This lady has a superb struture is lovely and you have captured her soul just for the time of the take.
I think this is realy a place where you have been and felt life. And I believe you never will forget this feeling. In some way you have live there your may 68, maybe...each time you return the feeling come back. This is a very friendly place. Thanks for the emotion of the photo and of the note.
My regards
teresat
