It is not strange that the photographer that always takes a camera (I have said "ALWAYS") find in his way with circumstances like the one that illustrate the beginning of this new publication. It was February 14 (DAY of the friendship and the love). Me, my wife (and my lover "my camera") we walked for the park and we meet with a gay manifestation claimed their rights. They, when seeing that I was taking pictures to a monument, called me and decided to pose for my lens being given a great kiss, they thought that I belonged to the press and they wanted that this kiss will be published, hahahaha!! Fulfilled mission.
There are other times, in that unintentionally the destiny puts in front us an incredible picture, like happened when I was photographing a shoemaker that had a machine of sewing that worked by crank, this it is the picture.
While I took the picture I listened a terrible shouting between a lady and a salesperson of the market that seemingly discussed for a quantity of money. instinctively I looked for, seeing by the lens of my camera and I saw them to about 50 distance meters. I supported my camera on the roof of a car, I waited the opportune moment and I captured the precise moment in that the lady threw him a blow that finished impacting the salesperson's face, concluding in this way the discussion, hahahaaha!
The truth is that the photographer, is not any privileged one that happen for him exactly the things for his lens, this happen to all, the difference is that the photographer that always takes a camera can immortalize those moments. I don't want to bore you with so much bla, bla, bla. so I give you some more of my street pictures, because : "An IMAGE SAYS MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS". see you soon.
AND MANY MORE TO COME!!!

yes my dear friend Quinton, is repulsive but ere the street , so I took the pic, really I point my camera thinking that they are joking but... wowww! they kiss in front of me!!!
In other times I go out with my camera and my Ruger P85 9mm parabelum 16 rounds. but now I prefer to go without any weapon, because here if you shoot to a bad boy you will be in great problems, the law alwais go to the bad boy side and you have to pay a lot of money to lawyers. That is more expensive that if you lost a camera.
Well, I hope things are not so dangerous that we need to carry a gun there...Maybe I should bring just the old camera.
I don't have a problem with homosexuals. I think generally women are far less intimidated by it than men are. But you have said that it was Valentine's day and these guys were promoting gay rights, so they were obviously just after publicity.
I agree with you that you never know when you will see something worthy of a photo. Yesterday, I was riding in my brother's car and we happened upon a wagon being drawn by two large work horses, decorated with red bows. they had obviously been hired for some celebration and they were trotting down the highway. I rolled down my window and shot a couple of frames as we passed them. One caught a very interesting reflection. It's not a good photo but I will email it to you to see if you can figure out how I got the reflection. It's not a photoshop trick. The reflection is real.
