May Anne's portrait

I've worked on a few new May Anne images from the Manila shoot I did with Rosa, Edison & Rodelyn - May Anne is a child in-need who lives next door to Rosa & Edison's Family, and the kids are always together but May Anne is more shy and harder to photograph while she goes about just being herself.

She always comes over to me with that huge smile of hers, yet has never said a word to me all the time I've known her - she usually wants to speak Tagalog to Rosa when I ask her questions, and Rosa will translate.

Good Sunday to you all,

...we had the hottest day of the year here on the Island so far yesterday, and certainly the hottest since November 2006.
...100 degrees F with a wicked humidity, so the heat index was well over 100 by 10am.

Cooler at 87 today with lower humidity, which is very nice and much easier conditions to work in when I'm at the computer.
