All so great but the 'pepper seller' has such a beautiful face... Imagine what she looked like 40 years ago?...[/QUOTE

And she was beautiful on the inside too.

I always approach the people I photograph to ask if I can take their picture. And after I'm done, I like to give them a few pesos to thank them for letting me invade their privacy with my camera.

Well, when I offered "Selling Peppers" a few coins after taking her picture, she looked at me with a quizzical look on her face. Next thing I know she's offering me some of her peppers in exchange for the money. I had to explain that I did not want anything for the money and that it was my way of saying thanks for the pictures. She gave me a big smile, laughed and thanked me as I walked away.

She was a really special lady.

Anyway, thanks for the comments on the pictures
