back to the park on that sunday afternoon.

she of response, me of timely shutter.

the eyes under the brim and behind the shades see something of import about which there is a comment, probably followed by a laugh,

or a scowl.

but most likely a smile.

her essence lights my life...

cool temps prevail. this is the second time to the park. this time without the sunday NYT but with plenty of parent supplied reading material (new yorker (good), business week, (that crap)

so we are semi-cuddled and i am subversively shooting. does she perfectly portray the image? cute coat, hair overflowing, and hat and glasses the compliment. wow. this is a well put together yuyun... or wuwein as i'd spell it.

we completely failed to visit the de young and were none the poorer for it. nothing more important than a great day between two people starting to negotiate that all important dance that describes spending time together. no need to interject 'substance'. we were enough of that.

yuyun, where did we go after?

hers and mine belly's satiated, we wander the park post trieste. we sit under large trees and watch various individuals performing daily homeless or houseless dances whilst bathing in the new found comfort of our recent discovery, that of each other.

we of different culture, of completely divergent background, have found common foreground in the city in which we live. we started continents apart and have found commonality through mutual need and modern technology, without which there is little doubt we'd have ever met.

the amazing yuyun blossoms like so many iris' delivered to her doorstep...

sweater buttoned to the top, her modesty on display for all. there is a quiet sense of patience as she waits her bacon and eggs that compliments the modesty but barely concels the desire to march back to the kitchen and announce the void in belly and need for filler... though not just of any quality, for she is a 'foodie'.

curly's satisfied, she proclaimed happiness and gladly moved on after a session with sunday bad chronicle, but good human company (tommy).

she was happy. she felt content as did i. we floated to new locations. we adapted to weather, to strange interlopers and to the newness of the new and unexpected relationship.

she reveals more every day.

she sits at trieste not knowing a camera is pointed her way. she wonders aloud at the patrons showing cracks over belt lines, telling stories of ill repute and certainly of dubious validity. she amazes with her adaptation of a world foreign even to those who arise from it.

always perched on lovely lips is the word 'no'. seldom truly understood yet ready for defensive strategy. she sits straight, walks with light step and occasional little twril outside moto garages (that delights and confuses).

she is a revelation.

hints of red contrasted against the brown sweater and the strong cheek and jawline. wispy strands fall along divergent lines as they seperate to their ends. there is a story behind everyone, this one so complex, yet so simple. she needs protection, she needs love, she deserves all of it. she sometimes amazes with simplicity, sometimes with depth, but always with tenderness and firmness.

love this shot. it was taken outside Curly's after a night to remember. she had no idea. the weather was a perfect compliment to the sleepy day we had. i started the big slide towards her that day...
