Ruth

Taking a bit of a different route tonight. I parked at the City Market per my usual protocol the last couple weeks. But instead of going into the downtown loop via the streetcar, I went East along the Riverfront. I wasn't expecting to photograph anyone, actually, since it's rare that I actually do photograph someone at the Riverfront.

Then I found Ruth on the other side of the Kit Bond Bridge near Bally's. Unexpected encounter that would then go... even further beyond unexpected to the point I question whether it actually happened... even with the photos showing it did.

After taking a few shots, in which she seemed somewhat scatterbrained, we walked West to under the Kit Bond Bridge. There were a couple concrete barriers sitting on the walking path - traffic control, I guess - which made a good setup for some other shots.

She's also a content creator on Instagram and TikTok.
