A cottage industry in Peru is women and children walking around dressed in traditional clothing and offering to pose for photographs. Of course, they'll expect a "tip"afterwards.

At first I balked at the idea of paying to take photographs, but then the expected amount is only 1 "Sol" (about 30 cents) per person. And besides, I figured I was helping these people become more self sufficient.

In this particular case though, the kids didn't seem too happy about being dragged around by their mother for this job
