Pretty Girl - a photo on Flickriver

Pretty Girl

            Taken in 1976.

I was taking pictures in Boston's Copley Square one day in July 1976 when this very pretty girl came up to me and asked if I'd like to take some pictures of her. She said she needed photos to help her get a job as a model. (I think my camera -- a Minolta SRT-101 -- impressed her, as did the fact that I was changing lenses.) I said sure -- who wouldn't?

I forget how I was supposed to contact her after the slides were developed and turned into prints but I don't think I ever did. But I wondered about her -- hanging around Copley Square by herself, very pretty, artfully made up, wearing an attractive dress, and approaching a man she didn't know with an offer to pose for him in exchange for prints. I hope things worked out for her.
