Sleeping on the Streets of Barcelona

African Top Manta Hawkers in Barcelona

It is not unusual to find African hawkers selling false Louis Vuitton and Carolina Herrera handbags in Barcelona.

Note: I recently improved my gear. I was in love with my Nikon D70s but I got a brand new D7000 (bought in the US cheaper). I am trying to get used to all the new features but man, am I happy! I hope the new stimulus makes me publish more frequently.
