Photographer's Note
Taking pictures in Boac, this kid got overly excited at the prospect of a camera lens coming into his life, and instantly jumped in the air posing for the camera (seen in other shots), this shot however was when i stumbled into the kid again at a shoe store by accident, were it looked like he ran errands for some spare pesos carrying stock, to compliment his spare change... like many unfortunate kids here, he is forced to beg on the streets, even in the rural island capital of the province of marinduque, street children roam. Happy as anything, he posed and struck some poses of blue steel for the camera, I gave him some pesos of course, he earnt it.
