Everyone, this is September. Take note, she’s easily one of the coolest out there. She alone is the reason I made sure to stop for a spell in Kansas City, Mo. each time I went out on the Greyhound. The first visit took place in the summer of 1996 on my initial dog trip. We made a side trip to visit Sep’s mother in Clinton, Mo. where this particular shot was taken.

I have a ton of snaps with September in them, as you can tell she made a very able subject, but this is my favorite. I also have an entire series of her with the slide, some serious, some pure goof, but this is the frame that stands out. To me at least, because of innocence that pervades it.
