Last night on the LIRR traveling westbound towards the City. I noticed these lovely ladies taking pictures of themselves, with their iPhone. So, I just asked them nicely if I can take their picture (as I showed them my dslr camera) if they didn't mind. "Wow! You must be a professional photographer?" One of the ladies said. As they were so kind & open to let me take a few pictures of them before we reached our stop.

Thank you! Shelly & Janika.
