Every opporunity is a chance

Emma couldn't have been happier to leave town for couple of days, as it had been somewhat rough summer for her. She had split up with her long-time boyfriend Brad, who had cheated on her at company summer party. This wasn't the first time, but it was the straw which finally broke camel's back. For the first few weeks Emma felt devastated, and she even thought about giving Brad yet another final chance. Now, a month and a half later, with some help and support from her friend Cassandra, Emma was on a rebound, and she felt free. Now she was free to go and do as she wishes. Brad had always exprected her to join his activities, but it never worked the other around. "It was always about Brad", Emma thought. Just as she was getting out of the ticket line, Emma felt like somebody was checking her out. She could see a man, maybe in his late 30s or early 40s, approaching her.

Whether it was his rough looks or his courteous manners, she slightly reservedly decided to stop and listen what the man had to say. "I know both of us are in a hurry, so I will keep this short and sweet... I am a photographer, and I would like to shoot you..." "WHAT?!?", Emma snapped.

If you would like a portfolio, or something to use in social media, or prints for friends or family, or whatever." Emma looks at him suspisciously and asks: "Okay, what's the catch?" "There is no catch. Like I said, you stood out in the crowd. I cannot pay you anything, but I will not ask for a payement either. If you were to be interested, I could show your portfolio to some agencies. But only with your permission, of course. There is no need to make up your mind right now. I will give you my card, and you can go over to my webpage to see some of my work. Think it over, and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you for your time, and have a safe journey", he said as he smiled and handed his card over to Emma. As soon as the man had gone away, Emma was about to throw the card away. At the last moment she decided otherwise, and started thinking. The only time she had been photographed by professional photographer was for a yearbook photo on her senior year in high school. She
