Andris Bērziņš, president of Latvia, at the national minority concert of the 2013 Song and Dance festival.
During the interval, he was cheerfully posing with guests! I really enjoyed the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of this event.

I flashed my best smile, pointed to my camera to quickly ask permission to take a snapshot, and was rewarded with these friendly smiles!
