‘This afternoon, I walked up the street to get some chili for lunch, and spotted this lady smiling back from the window of Bogie’s Downtown restaurant. I wondered, would she be smiling quite as much if she had to endure the 13-degree temperatures the rest of us were experiencing?’
‘With the restaurant’s permission, I placed Miss Monroe on the sidewalk outside. Turns out, she didn’t mind the cold at all. The breeze almost knocked her down a couple of times, like a candle in the wind or something, but nothing really seemed to faze her. I guess this could be called a “really environmental portrait.” ‘
