I did it. For the first time I asked a stranger if I could take her photo.

We where at the bus station, me and Max. Next to Maxi an old lady sat. She said, ohh, i will move away when I started to take photos of my son.

Then, from out of the blue I said, no please dont. I was just about to ask you if I could take a picture of you because you have the most beautiful face.

She started to smile and fixed her hair and giggled a little, like nooo, not me.. I looked at her again and asked, seriously, you are very beautiful and she smiled at me with a nod so i started to photo her.

Afterwards I sat down next to her and she started to ask me questions, smiled and nodded, looked at some pictures of mine on my iphone and gave me good feedback, said like, ohhh this is nice..

I never asked her about her name but she left me with a peaceful feeling inside. Next to great grandma i never seen such a friendly, beautiful face on a very old woman. She was shining, like an old angel, earthangel, wise and strong.

I am so proud of my self, i dared!

Edit: Maxi just saw her picture, stayed still, looked at her and said: Mom, she was just so beautiful, right? She looks so friendly mamma...
