something for everyone
Meet Diane, she runs a local second hand shop "Village Thrift" here in Orlando FL. I stop by second hand shops when I'm looking for props that could maybe spark ideas. Diane makes good use of the space she has, which isn't a whole lot. You can spend hours in this tiny shop simply digging through the layers of knick knacks. After seeing her pretty red dress and the light hitting her from a nearby window, I kindly asked if I could photograph her. Reluctant at first she did agree. When she asked me how to pose I responded with "that's perfect", she gave me a small sheepish smile and I snapped a few. We settled up with the thrifty goods I found, although the real treasure was Diane captured in this photo.
Village thrifts motto... "Something for everyone", which I'd have to say seems quite accurate.

I love this. We have a shop just like this where I live and my friend and I also go there for props for photographs. The old lady who works there is just the sweetest. It's called "This and That Shop." It would take days to go through everything in that store.
