gotta love the portraits as well from this trip. does a butterfly portrait count? every person i met was such a character, the first dude reminded me of a buddha - those ones you see when you enter those chinese restaurants and after you put a coin in its belly, you rub it for good fortune. his belly certainly looked like he had some good fortune in there, yet im pretty sure he was homeless. he had the biggest smile, so approachable, without a care in the world. after i took his picture he asked “can i have a kiss?” and then i gapped it lol. i wish i could talk about each person, as they all have such a unique story to tell. the photos only say so much! maybe you could imagine the conversations i had with them
