 I know nothing about this person, other than that she was at this coffee shop around lunch time with her dog (note the leash hooked over the chair) and very clearly had been there working intensely on behalf of clients for several hours. She seemed to be wearing the weight of the world on her shoulders in what I can only assume must be a very responsible position with her company, and something about the combination of light and context just spoke to me as a portrait of what modern telecommuting looks like for office professionals.

I can feel her. I also like the items in this coffee shop.. the sculpture on the right, the mirror with peeling paint, and the eyeless portrait. She looks like a time traveler to the past (which means you time travelled too :D). Kudos to your stealth photography skills (PS. I like that it's high contrast yet still highlights are well controlled)

Very genuine! I’m wondering whether it’s someone you know or someone you spotted in a café… The mysterious portrait on the wall suggests it might be at home, though.
