This young woman caught my eye with the eccentric color combination she wore. It’s not bad, just delightfully different. In fact, there was a certain kind of “fun” to her appearance. It was a look that said to me “I’m comfortable and happy, and that’s really all that matters!”
I suspect that her companion caught that I was taking pictures of his friend, but he apparently said not a word, as she never even turned to catch my eye. Their attention was primarily riveted on a pair of panhandlers wearing Mickey and Minnie costumes and offering photo opportunities for “donations”. Actually, I’m not too terribly sure about the legitimacy of the word “donations”, as if you didn’t pay them this “donation”, they would turn their backs to thwart picture taking.
It’s really rather sad when you see people taking advantage of others this way.
