Posted by Wayne (Melbourne, Australia) on 15 March 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
This is Jane, I met her when I was in Monash University as part of a delegation of city (as opposed to suburbia) folk who went down there to help out with their Orientation day push a couple of weeks back. Jane's from another christian campus club with whom we had the privilege of partnering with.
So we were giving out free fairy floss (or cotton candy as I call it back home) and she was listening to the party supplies guy on how to operate the fairy floss machine thing. I couldn't resist taking a shot...the bright but delicate pink and her white shirt and above all her expression was just a priceless combination.
I love how expressive and nuanced our human faces can be...its beyond wonder =) and it makes me feel very grateful to be human =D
