would have liked to gotten some still/portrait type shots

part of the process is a social interaction
I get to meet cyclists and interact with them

even if the cyclist turns me away and denies me the pleasure of taking their photograph
I have had the chance to hear their voice and make eye contact
which add up to be an additional piece of the puzzle of who is on the bike

from here this woman seems slick and cool
a little attitude
a little euro flavor
some style
some class

but maybe after making eye contact and hearing her voice I could learn that my filling in the blank is way off
no euro
no attitude
maybe friendly and kind
maybe a southern belle
rather than a french maid

who knows?
