Description This old lady haunts the Mentone civic centre. I have seen her around for the last 6 years. Up until very recently she had a long mane of matted grey hair - almost like one massive dreadlock. I am assuming it is now gone because of hygene. She also pushes around a shopping trolley with a little old dog that sits in it. No sign of the dog anymore either...

This has a good narrative quality to it. Nice shot...i also like that she is turned around just enough to see part of her face

I absolutely love this photo. Firstly I know this lady from back in the day in Mentone. Brings back lots of memories of my high school days, and you have captured something significant to me. Also I love the perspective and contrast of the shot.

great scene. once again I liket the use of selective focus here, and of course the fine grain B&W.
