Lone Diner with Waitress [Homes and Houses]

Entered in contest June 2, 2012
I had lunch alone in a small, charming French bistro in downtown Albuquerque. This young man was enjoying his leisurely meal when I arrived. He lingered over desert and coffee and, finally, a book on his Kindle; I kept glancing over and wishing I had a picture with him in it. Finally I found the nerve to ask his permission and he obliged. The waitress unexpectedly walked into my last frame.

Another perfect "story-teller". It was a smart choice to do it as a B/W. #10182623Kathryn Wesserling June 16, 2012

Super Congratulations on this superb gold winner, Nikki! This has your signature all over it! Marvelous comp and so perfect in B&W! I didn't finish the Finalists this month so will go back and catch up with your others. Like the others, I am also reluctant to approach people and so rarely do. Another lesson learned from you! #10257895
