Before one of Brazil's games (the semifinal, I think) I came across these three women outside a clothing shop and asked to take a couple of pictures of them: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=980713 The lady on the left is the owner of the shop, and she told me that the old lady was her mother and that it was the mother's birthday that day. So I took another photo of the old lady alone: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=980704 I was pleased with the images but they did not make the cut to the PAW. However, yesterday, I took a couple of A4 prints down to the shop and gave them to the owner. She was so absolutely thrilled, it was fantastic. We chatted for 1/2 hour, and I have certainly made a new friend. It really felt good to please someone else by doing something that I love to do anyway.
