a photograph

It's somewhere around 7pm on a Monday and the Pasar Seni LRT Station is pretty much full of people. The trains heading in both directions are nearly always totally full of people, and thus few people can actually get on them, which contributes to the large amount of people loitering around. And then there are the people—like me—who've decided to sit down and waste some time doing other things while waiting for emptier trains to arrive. I decide to get my camera out of my bag and affix my 135mm lens onto it, and I begin walking about and snapping photos. As I'm walking about, I see her. She's wearing a dark brown jacket and a white headscarf with floral designs. Her handbag, also something of a dark brown—although most probably black—is slung over her right shoulder. She's sitting down on one of the many benches, looking out onto the tracks, waiting for the next train to arrive, seemingly lost in thought. Beside her, a man in a black-and-white checkered shirt holds his phone up to his right ear and is talking with someone on the other end. I brace myself against a wall, compose the photo, and press the shutter. Another photo in the bag.
