I've spotted Mária sitting alone on a bench on a warm Sunday afternoon, so I asked if she would allow me to take her picture.

She smiled and agreed, sitting quietly while I took a few shots of her. She told me she is from Cluj and she's 81. 'Impressive' I told her 'you can't even tell' - 'I can' she replied with a sad smile. I also asked wether she has any grandchildren, but she said that she was all alone.

I asked for her contact details and a few days later I took her the pictures of her. She was quite impressed and very happy about that. She invited me in and we chatted a bit about the project and my plans and intentions with it. She seemed like a nice old lady :)
