Looking for My Mona Lisa

[skyring]

I've got this photograph loaded on my iPhone, and every time it comes around on the slideshow I think, "By jingo, I love that photograph!"

Looking at the photographs I took at the same time, I realise how incredibly lucky I was. It really was a horrendous environment for zoom photography without a tripod.

Anyway, this is probably a long shot in another sense, but I'd like to find the young lady in the photograph. I think she'd appreciate a copy of the shot - it was a special day for me, just looking through the Louvre, and she probably thought the same. Maybe she's sighing over memories of the trip, just as I am.

I've assembled some clues, some photographs, and Thuh Photo into a Facebook group. I'm also trawling through Flickr to find people in the same place at the same time. Mabe we can find her. Wouldn't it be fantastic to put a smile on her face?

Here's the group: Looking for Mona Lisa

Any clues as to her nationality? Earphones, so not French? Casual but elegant. American?

She "seemed" American to me...

I hope he finds her so that we can find out!
:D

American is my guess. No offence, but a Frenchwoman of that age would be dressed in a more elegant manner. Nothing I can put my finger on, but they just do.

Possibly British or Australian, but that "Columbia" jacket points to an American.

My thoughts exactly. French, Spanish or Italians would be less "casual".
