Cristina

I photographed the other drink servers, so I wanted to include Cristina as well, provided I got her permission.

And she thanked me for asking permission. Something that kind of caught me off guard, but at the same time didn't. I do hear that on occasion, but usually only when I'm being turned down, "No thanks, but thanks for asking first."

Which... I've made it no secret that consent has always been part of my game from the outset. I've never been comfortable photographing someone recognizable without their permission with the intent of posting it online - incidentals aside. And when you're talking about women wearing something like Cristina... yeah, no, I was not going to photograph her without asking first.

I also bought a soda afterward, leaving a very generous tip. Most expensive Sprite I've ever had, but worth it.
