One day I hope to do a portrait show of Sylvie pictures from the Mansion. It will probably never happen, that world is gone for photographers like me, but I am blessed to have such a willing and open subject, her face tells a thousand different stories. When I first met Sylvie, I thought she would throw a book at me when I asked her if I could take her picture, but we have become close friends and are always delighted to see one another.

I love her face, it defines the idea of character. She is a voracious reader, she always has a magazine with her. She told me I needed to take a photo of her smiling, I promised to do that tommorow.
