Guanajuato, Mexico:
The best way to distract a kid is to have someone else take a picture. That's the only way she wouldn't stand 4 inches from the camera.
While at first shy, the girl later became more comfortable and tried to take the kid's tip cup. What was most interesting about the whole thing is that the accordion playing kid saw the girl pick up his cup, and had absolutely not reaction, apparently totally confident that her dad would put the cup back.
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico:
This kid had the funniest expressions just before I could get a picture of him. He peeled his entire banana, then seemed disgusted that he had to hold the mushy fruit in his hands. Nevertheless, he finished his banana and ran back inside.
After spending a few days in the city of Addis Ababa, me and my family went on a day trip to a mountain just outside of the city limits. There was an old Ethiopian Orthodox Church built in a cave built around 700 CE (I think). We think this girl was trying to sell the branches she's holding that she plucked from a nearby tree.
This is one of my favorite photos that I've taken. After telling the girl with the branches that we couldn't buy them (in really terrible Amharic), we started heading back to the car. My sister and I lagged behind the rest of the family and I spotted this kid through a crack in the fence. Luckily for me and my sister, he spotted us and was just as curious as we were.
