Paint swatches? Ha, I think she needs to be a little more decisive about the colour of her dress! And she must have robbed an entire paint shop to get all of these!

She told me that she went into a local paint store with a threatening paint roller...they handed over all of the swatches. Actually I have another picture of this woman on panoramio. I also have a photo of her I haven't put up yet as a clown fish (not to be confused with clown-landscape). I didn't meet her until last year, a few years after this picture was taken, then realized that I had pictures of her. I met this woman on the train last week, and then realized that I had her image as well. Crazy. She was reading a book by Paul Auster (sp?), a Brooklyn writer; I was reading a bad book about Ghost Stories of NYC. Really bad. It did have a ghost who didn't like books and would rip the prefaces out and leaving all of the books on the floor. I think that the people who claim the story are drunks in blackouts and the truth of them hating books comes out. But that's just me.

Cheerful Cheers,
