Portrait of Two Young Bohemians, in Tompkins Square Park

Photo by myself in Tompkins Square Park, in the East Village.

While at Tompkins Square Park the other week, I noticed a striking couple seated in a quiet corner, on a park bench. 

I'm not sure whether Becca and Ludwig were a couple or whether they were just friends. They were nice enough to allow me to take their picture. Ludwig gave me a big smile, but Becca seemed shy and didn't want to look into the camera.

Though they look very 'East Village' (ie; arty, eclectic or un-traditional), neither lives in the neighborhood.

The Portrait Series is a once-in-a-while installment, featuring New Yorkers encountered on the street.
