A man who I have had problems with in the past, or at least semi problems met me today. He even said "MING-GAH-LAH-BAH" (Hello) to me, on his own, first.
In years past this man asked me for beer, caffeine drinks and the like and in 2016 he did not remember me until I gave him his old photo. This time round, he remembered me the first time he saw me and there were no problems. I guess that is one of the benefits of making friends (acquaintances) over time, of committing to the people your photographing and to care enough to try and help anyway you can. Eventually when your trying to do all those "right" things, even the grumpy people come round and greet you.
Here are some past posts on this fellow:
