I say the same, good job Hans. I am still a bit afraid of taking pictures of people. Do you know that some indians believe that when a photo of them is taken their souls are "robbed" or "stolen" from them?

Excuse my wording. It is better to say:

...when someone takes them a photo they believe their souls are being robbed or stripped out of them?

Hi draken, I did know and I hear it's also the case for the Australian aboriginals.

I have a few (personal) basic rules about taking pictures of people. I rarely ask them to pose and often they don't even know they were in the picture. It's just: without the young couple, this would be "just another picture of El Morro".

Funny story: this couple saw me taking the picture and later insisted on posing. I've got a beautiful picture of them embracing each other with El Morro in the background.
