Sometimes, I wish had more opportunity to explain to people what it was that made me want to photograph them. The girl in this picture had such a great look. You can't see it here but she had rows of tight braids on both sides of her head and really graphic tribal printed leggings. She and her friends ran straight into the fountain at Washington Square and then plunked down on the pavement to dry off in the late afternoon sun. Initially, her style caught my eye but I think it was also how naturally cool she seemed to be. When I asked to take her picture, she was completely unselfconscious.
