I met Marian Basa today who I have seen before in Barcelona a few years ago. He wrote me this message with his foot. He's been on Spain's Got Talent and plans to be on AGT next season. Here are links to his Instagram and Facebook accounts; www.instagram.com/marianbasa26/ www.facebook.com/ACMB26

I wish I could eat these delicious looking treats that I saw in a ice cream shop today. I stopped eating excess sugar 2 1/2 years ago but I still love to look at sugary treats. LOL !!! #icecream #photography #barcelona

I met this little guy today. His human told me she rescued him from 8 months ago and that he's a very happy dog today. It's one of the joys of being a hobby photographer who loves dogs. #dogs #barcelonadogs #pets

There are many shops in Barcelona that sell works of art like these. Art collectors come here to buy these rare items and I walk inside the shops and aim my camera at them instead because it's the only way I can afford to look at them later. #photography #artshops #barcelona

Street photography can be a lot of fun if you don't get too serious and think your photos aren't good enough to show to anyone. Some street photographers believe there are rules you need to comply with in order to produce good photos. #streetphotography #photography #barcelona #bicycles

Even though I attempted to have a conversation with this man after I got several closeup shots of him, my terrible Spanish and his inability to understand any English kept me from getting to know him more than just his visible body. #portraits #barcelona #photography #

A Chinese and Italian friendship made a lovely photo as they allowed me to photograph them. I learned they were both living in Barcelona and met at the school they were attending. #portraits #photography #barcelona #students

This photo is over 71 years old of my Mom and Dad's wedding day. I was at the wedding but hidden inside the womb of Mom and birthed into this world 6 months later. Mom is still alive and just turned 90 on September 14th. My Dad was killed in a car accident when he was 24. #oldphotos #photography

I think of myself as a hunter of interesting images to photograph. Insects like this weird looking locust is very interesting when I zoom in on it with my camera lens. #macrophotography #insects #photography
