magie de l'émerveillement

Passed by Manong Pedro's shop to thank him for this custom phone case. 

He was occupied but is still awaiting for the rest of his #75strangers portraits (files) to be transferred to his smart phone which does not have a number, only messenger (or so he says). :) 

After more than a year of intermittently visiting his different shop locations, he never showed any interest in getting a copy of the photos I have taken of him, both posed and candid ones until he saw an "antique" photo of his wife, Ma'am Helen in our website through my phone's screen. He suddenly fished for his own smart phone and wanted to take a photo of the small screen of my phone to be sent to Ma'am Helen who is visiting family in New Zealand. Told him, am sorry but would rather give him a free high resolution photo of it than allow him to take a photo of the screen. As I have observed his craftmanship and need for quality, told him that am the same. Still dislike it when our edited photos get re-edited and shared on socials with credits.

Featured photo is filed #75strangers : he is a random kid who just happen to wonder/wander near White Fiona in time for good light. 
Title is just French for "magic of wonder" as per Google.
