Dear Mr. Mendes,

...am falling head over heals here...
saw you last week and took a photo of you while on a trip in New York City outside of the photography store.

I had no idea who you were...but your picture "haunted me" :).
...and I got angry at myself for not speaking to you....
and called the picture of you:
"..because of fear to face him". 

Back at home now I kept staring at the picture of you!
You didnt leave me alone :).

Today...out of the blue ...I googled "famous street photographers" just right after wondering and 
getting all depressed about where I want to go with my photography!....

Please Mr. Mendes.... 
more than anything in this world I have been looking for a mentor... a teacher in this photography world...
...it drove me crazy.... 
...but before this trip....it sounds all made up...but really....before this journey....I knew I would see someone of importance...or someone giving me a very important piece of advise...

You must think I am crazy now...but actually am just a woman with family and somehow this urge to photograph things and people....and all is confusing me at this point.

So maybe you have the time to see some of my work ...


It would be a great honor and also I attached the photo I took of you!

With all the best wishes,

Nina Lesley Lombardo


PS: Please excuse me being so emotional...but right in this minute I feel like have been kicked by a horse! :)

This Facebook account is NOT owned by Mendes it self... !!
Another person created this account ..... I dont think he really know him, he is playing smart in here..
NOTE: And his name is not Louis Mendes.. his correct name in " LUIS MENDEZ " ..Do you really know him as a friend ? or you just want to make money from him by booking a photo session ??



I started to reply to this, but it was up for about 5hrs so I just removed it.  But it seem to be a spammer because he only had 1 friend.
