Fernando, May 2010 | i was granted the chance to meet Mr. Fernando as i was capturing some fun shots of two friends. he had been trekking along side of the same sidewalk we were and he passed us, smiling and nodding his head. i wanted so badly to get a photo of him, and my friends said, "go ahead, go ask him before he gets to far!" i turned around and began jogging in his direction saying "excuse me sir!!! excuse me!!!" he turned around and said, "yes?" i asked, "do you mind me snapping a photo of you, please?" he said, "no." as i was snapping his photos, i said to me in the best english he could coated in a strong latin accent, "you're beautiful. you're very very beautiful!" he smiled easily at me and i shyly responded "ohhh, thank you!" he told me "take care." i said, "you do the same!"
