493I’m often asked which is my favourite SOTM, but never had just one image in mind before. But, some 600 pictures in, this is my favourite so far. She said her step-brother told her this, when she was drying her hair upside down as a teenager, and that she liked all the connotations it held of strength and power. She mentioned a few times the traditional difficulties teens have when growing up, and we traded serious acne stories. Happily she has turned out beautifully, and is married with a good job, so it is always a relief to find affirmation that life, however difficult, must be endured. Seconds after this was taken two short, surly security guards tackled me in Trafalgar Square, London, and tried to stop me taking any pictures. It’s not a public place, apparently, but the shots were taken anyway.

"With my thick, curly, strawberry-blonde hair, I have gotten this comment many times before as well, thanks to humidity and such."
