Stranger #3 of 100 - Giovanni

This picture is #03 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken at my 100 Strangers album on Flickr

Giovanni was born on Italy but now is living on Germany. He and his family were expending some holidays in our city ( Barcelona - Catalonia - Spain ).

I met Giovanni on my way to home. He and his family were taking pictures on Plaça Catalunya and Giovanni were capturing pictures of her family when he came to me and asked me if I can take a whole family portrait. I agree with no doubt and after taking some shots of them, I decided to put another "stranger" on my gallery.

I explained to Giovanni the goal of this project with some little trouble during our conversation that was in English and he agree to being photographed.

Giovanni and her family were on his first day of vacation on the city and they had visited some monuments. The one that they loved were Sagrada Familia. Giovanni had Spanish friends on Germany and switched to spanish as soon he noticed I had some troubbles with Shakespeare's mother language. One of the many things that he loved from our country were the kindly nature of catalan people.

After few minutes we said goodbye and followed our own ways. I only take 3 pictures. Because the lens was not the most effective for portrait, the dimm of the sunset light, I did the best I caught.

I hope Giovanni agree with the result. I've send a copy through e-mail and noticed him about the project.
