Great interaction with the subjects, wonderful portraits... :-)

You seem to be a nice guy and they like you. It clearly shows in the pictures!
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Yes, Aguinaldo is a nice and friendly guy.

The lady in #9 looks a little puzzled, apparently for the religious reason (she may be Muslim)?  Otherwise, all ineractions are nice, as Jacques points out.

Thank you Frank and Akira.
Akira, the scarf around the lady's head may tell if she is a muslim or not, but I'm not sure. She was selling apples sitting on the ground and suddenly looked in my direction. Her look may be of being surprised.

Wonderful portraits! Most have an open and friendly look. They opened up for you. Great job!

Aguinaldo, excellent.  I photograph people and my wife covers everything else.  Kids and younger people will interact willingly , it is the old folk who often shy away from the cameras.  Well done.

Thank you Peter, Tom and Armando.
Tom, I completely agree. The young are the most enjoyable ones to photograph.

Aguinaldo, thanks for the detail of the shooting situation.  Nice facial expression nevertheless.
