This is Rebecka, or Bacon as her friends call her. I met her at the Västerhaninge shopping centre. I was waiting for my flickr contact Jim, and figured I had time to shoot a portrait when I noticed Rebecka. She lives in Västerhaninge. She's a student at the Fredrika Bremer secondary school in Handen as are quite a few of the young people I have photographed. She'd just arrived home from a visit to Kokkola in Finland where her maternal grandparents lives. Her paternal grandfather is Italian. He comes from Udine in Northern Italy, so Bacon has spent many summers in that part of Europe. I told her of a visit to Lago di Garda, and she said she had been there as well. As I sometimes do I mentioned one of my previous portraits, taken here in VH, the priest Sara, and that brought a smile to Rebecka's face as Sara was her confirmation priest. By now Jim had joined us, so I took a few portraits of Bacon and that was that.
