Winning Alone

            One of the strangest and most memorable things I've lived through is being in Paris when France won the World Cup.  The streets were absolutely transformed and I have many photos of people rejoicing (some that I have posted previously).  

But, I also tend to be drawn to that opposite feeling and the bipolar sense that happens in reality.  Because, it's such a strong current of collective consciousness when that many people are rooting for something that you actually forget it's about sports at all and it feels more about the collective spirit of France or even of humanity.  

I could tell that this girl wanted to be a part of that with the way she had decorated her face and with the French flag she was holding but I think she didn't quite know how and that's an interesting thing to capture...maybe even more intriguing for me than all the wild dancing and singing. We are all young and awkward once and some of us know very intrinsically (even when we're older) precisely how this girl felt.
