This pleasant looking woman, computer at gloved hands, is 'the bookkeeper

for an automotive repair/sales facility. Your ratings, critiques and remarks are

invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly, very critically, or just wish to

Thanks! Enjoy! john

John, at first with the glove I thought it was exam time for you.

I carry my camera, at least a pocket one around with me all the time, you never know my friend, you never know.

Well framed, we have her equipment to help her preform her job, jetting right to left, nice natural artificial light and then we come to the money shot, her face, brilliant

No it was not then exam time, but it's a timely reminder that one's overdue, and maybe a lifesaver; thanks for the reminder.  I'd overlooked the association.

And I never though I'd hear the term 'money shot' associated with a sweet, plump woman obviously more intent on counting bills and invoices than calories, so another good one for you.

I'm known for taking 'gritty' photos with 'realism', but this is 'realistic' too, and of a more 'sweet' nature, because that's the woman who presented herself to me and allowed me to take her portrait in a fraction of a second or several, then on I went.

I was reviewing older shots recently and this 'money shot' caught my eye, and I said 'why didn't I ever consider this?, it's pretty good?

And so you see it here.

Good or not, it's my favorite of the day.

Thanks for the endorsement.

And the reminder about seeing the guy with the gloved hand who may save my life.  It's past time.

This is the face of America!  She buys detergent, cares for kids probably, checks out schools, keeps American running.  She's never heralded in commercials, but she is America's backbone, I think.

She's probably just one paycheck from having being destitute if national figures bear me out, given the job she's performing (no indication she's the boss's wife).

She's the 'real deal' with no special moments caught with a hidden camera or from behind a power pole, no tricks or angles in photographing her, and nothing special other than recognizing that she has a universal appeal but does probably not shop at fancy department stores.

She is the 'middle class' of America, however much it's disappearing, I'd venture.

In her own way, she's a sweetheart.
