Photowalk - Torreon (Follow Up)

Last week we went downtown to handout the photos that I printed. I found the shoe shiner there and in good spirits. I met with him and gave him his photo. His reaction was positive however, he wanted me to re-shoot him. I suppose he wasn't thrilled about his look or something. Nothing abnormal about wanting to look good I guess.

Next stop was the lady at the flower shop. She was very happy to see the photo. She called out her daughter, granddaughter and great grand kids. Her daughter (a lady in her mid 50's) gave her a hard time for not flashing the pearly whites in her photo. It was a funny exchange.

Here is the family. (Granddaughter and her kids) Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of the lady's daughter.
The kids were great. I was telling them about how cold Canada is in the winter and that we can skate on lakes etc...I could tell they couldn't quite comprehend the idea of skating on lakes.

Hi Andrew - Dana just told me about your blog for the first time, and I am embarassed to say how much time I have just now spent at work looking at all your pics. I went through the whole album! But what can I say, you are super talented and the pictures are addictive. You've really captured your beautiful and enviable life in Mexico. Keep on posting!
