Photo of the Day (10.27.09)
Today's Photo of the Day comes from longtime contributor Alpha Tango Bravo (aka Adam Baker). I consider great portrait photos to be ones that share the personality and character of the subject - even if they happen to be complete strangers in a foreign land.
Baker writes in the photo's caption that he approached this woman, and asked to take her photo "as a souvenir" - to which she promptly replied "go to the souvenir stand." before finally agreeing. Asking locals for permission to take their picture is no easy task, but one that is often well worth the risk...
The photo was captured in Suzdal, Russia - a town of under 12,000 people situated northeast of Moscow. The town is home to the Open Russian Festival of Animated Film every March.
