People can be odd when it comes to taking pics. A couple of people in these pics were adament that I could not take their pics. But when I asked to take a pic with them their attitude changed 180. The other problem is that you'd be surprised how often per second a person sticks his tongue out or blinks. It's done so often that we don't really notice it but the camera captures it all the same. Also, everyone over here has a story, some are running from something or 'needed' to pay off debt. One guy in the pics, needed about $300,000 to pay off debt. How the heck does someone accumulate $300,000 in debt that you could not claim bankruptucy! I don't know but he did. Another person here had a son die over here. So he's doing his part. Funny thing too when I asked to take a pic with him he grabbed me and pulled me closer for the pic. He'd never have done that otherwise. Arisbeth also was more than happy to take a pic of me. She too pulled me close and pressed her head against my cheek. Go figure...
