On the way to church

One of the most picturous subjects in Cyprus (and in Greece for that matter) are old ladies dressed all in black. They can usually be seen in the villages and/or on the way to/from church. Since I am a bit shy at photographing people (other than my friends and relatives), I’ve never even attempted to make a picture of the “black grandma”. Today I saw one on the street going to church while I was driving home from work. I decided to photograph her. I stopped the car, shot the picture, jumped in the car and went away in a hurry. The picture came out pretty much OK, but I have to calm myself down more next time.
