This very gorgeous young girl hangs out at A Diedrich's Cafe in Orange County, Southern California. The day I saw her I was struck by her exotic features. I believe she is part asian part american. Nicole has a charming sweetness and innocence about her demeanor, about her air. When I first got my camera and asked her if I can photograph her, she shied away like a child, put the tip of her hand in her mouth like a baby, and said no, why...
I took this shot from behind the counter at Diedrich's with a yellow/orange light hanging above Nicole. I completely lucked out in getting this beautiful composition of brown, aqua, green, yellow, orange and red.
