Anais - Fountainbridge, Edinburgh

Camera Thirteen

"The thought of asking a stranger if I could take their photo scared me. I took this photo of the canal in Edinburgh as I was walking around trying to pluck up courage. I was on the point of chickening out when I spotted a girl on her bike studying a map. She had a lovely orange helmet on (yes I knew the photo would be black and white) and looked friendly, so I approached her.

Anais was happy to have her picture taken and told me that she was cycling around looking at bridges. I would have liked to have found out more, but I was just so relieved to have got my shot (which I suspect isn't very good), I just about ran away."
