When I was still in Minnesota and posting from my VisualStPaul blog, I decided to participate in Flickr's group that approached strangers to photograph. The objective was to become more comfortable asking someone you don't know for a photograph and also to perfect your technique in the process. I decided to resume the project on this blog also, and I will occasionally post a photo of a stranger with information about them. We met Kela and her novio (boyfriend) in a store in Zona Dorado when Jaime was looking to buy Cuban cigars. Manuel was the primary clerk who typically made a hard sell while Kela sat demurely on the side. Before I photographed her, he nodded approval. We had an interesting chat about the current state of business and the economics re. tourist trade. Jaime incidentally left with 3 cigars.

A lovely stranger...and Jaime got his cigars...not a bad day. The two cuties you posted yesterday look like fun.
dans ce projet, voilà un beau portrait, on dirait une corsaire ;o)
in this project, this is a beautiful portrait, it looks like a privateer ;o)
good shot
good one
I love that 100 strangers project. It's certainly something I could work on myself. There are very few portraits on my blog and I'm not overly happy with those I usually do.
I also have to congratulate you on your diver shot (just striking!) and on your 47th wedding anniversary. I wish you both many more happy years together.
xx

Nice photo! And an interesting project.
She has some big ear rings. So how is the economy in Mexico?
Nice idea to make portraits! I also really like the preceding "double portrait"!
I was hoping you would leave us with the equivalent US Dollar price per cigar.
Anyway, I do like the portrait. It is well done.
Yes, as someone who has been married 53 years, congratulations on 47 years.

Another excellent portrait. I think there is something she's not saying. :-)
Good shot and I love the concept. Will consider the process myself.
your husband left with cigars and you with a lovely photo and a nice story to tell us.
she's an interesting poser.
