It was a beautifully random crossing of two ships in the night. Myself, perhaps a bit too emboldened with the warmth of fermented grape liquid armor, resulting in an overly assertive capture of impromptu photo snaps at the end of the evening. Herself, perhaps caught up in the frenzied last call atmosphere of the decimated free food and beverage table, perhaps piling a few too many cupcakes on a napkin and perhaps filling her plastic cup with too much vino for the cup to handle. It was her hair, her amazing sea creature hair, that captured my attention. I made no hesitation to focus my lens on it -- but the moment I did, she looked right at the camera and jolted, thus spilling her wine and dropping her crowded mass of mini-cupcakes to the floor. One day I want my hair to be like hers, except more phosphorescent and with way more tentacles. Medium: Graphite in moleskine, digital color, free wine.

You should look up Chicago's former Mayor, Jane Byrne. She looks just like this elegant, refined lady!

What kind of wine goes well with mini cupcakes? That's a LOT of sugar. (might explain the hair)
