This is Neysa, which is Greek for purity. She and her husband (of Italian descent) own a small pizzeria in Paterson, New Jersey. We met over the weekend while shooting the Paterson Great Falls and when we broke for lunch, nearly all 10 of us crammed into the pizzeria and grabbed a slice!

She was a gracious host with a very thick accent . . . she took all our orders, not once writing down what was asked for and nailed it perfectly. On the small television in the front of the pizza place, an old spaghetti western played while her hubby sat back and watched. It was a great afternoon spent with like minded photographers and some really good pizza.
