Street kids abound at the cemetery everytime All Saints’ Day arrive in the Philippines. They offer services to tomb owners; cleaning graves, repainting mausoleums, re-inking names on tombstones and other menial labors. This kid particularly caught my interest; his eyes are just so expressive and his smile is both mischievous and innocent. 

I asked if he would pose for the camera, he didn’t say anything and simply answered with his smile.
