I’m glad that I asked Krista how to spell her name. I
would have guessed wrong. She laughed and said that it was important – after
birth, she was in the hospital for five days before she got a name. I guess
that her parents wanted to get it right!
Minneapolis was cold. Very cold, for a Florida guy. But
even the locals were surprised and said that the sleet and snow were a few
weeks early. Downtown, people were walking fast, trying to get to their
location and off the street. But Krista was sitting on a bench, looking quite
content. On this low bench, her feet did not touch the ground; Krista is well
under five feet tall.
And when I asked to photograph her, she was pleased. Krista
was born in Iowa but moved to Minnesota for college. She never moved back.
