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.<\/p>\n
