Raleigh editorial photography

Raleigh editorial photography - Neighborhood Project. I've been driving by Miss T and her dog Pinto for over a year. I finally got up the nerve to stop and ask if I could take her picture. Most days she's out front with a shot glass and a bottle of Richards Irish Rose. I don't usually have a problem with talking to people about taking their photo, but there was something very intimidating about Miss T.  Maybe it was the location ? Bragg St. and Person, most people won't even get out of their car unless they were looking for drugs. Miss T is a kind soul who has had a rough life, she was very welcoming. I got off @ 27 clicks of the camera and think I captured her well.
