hanoi on my mind*
This has to be my favourite shot taken from the recent trip. This uncle is a street artist, seating on his low wooden stool painting away as the world passes him by. I watched him from afar for a bit, before deciding to inch closer to admire his work. He turned and gave the most sincere smile I have seen in a long, long time. It warmed my heart.
After a short chat, I asked if I could take a shot of him. He replied, "Ok. But wait!" and quickly stood up to wear the traditional hat and also the traditional black shirt, sat down and gave this pose. Awesome.
