Day 8: Chloe

I had no one lined up to shoot, so I asked a stranger.  Granted, she lives next door to me, but only recently moved in and I'm one of those terrible (or awesome, depending on your perspective) neighbors who doesn't know anyone in my neighborhood.
It was sleeting and the road was a sheet of ice, and I was so busy not slipping and falling that I forgot to bring the tiny, round flash diffuser that I like to use for quick shots.  I did have the ring flash with me so I just decided to use that, but not mounted to the camera.  
Because of the layout of the house, and the orientation of this shot, I was unable to hold the flash in my left hand and shoot with my right.  Chloe's mother stepped in to help and held the flash just outside the frame to the right.  She is very happy with this photo, but it's helped me realize that I definitely prefer a darker aesthetic, and this one is conspicuously brighter than anything else in the set so far.
Maybe that means I need to consider some other styles.
