People are always outside in Hanoi. Watching, waiting, selling, it gives a unique life to the streets. It reminded me a little of the old town area of Dubai - Deira, and for a first time visitor it's unsettling having everyone watch you. So to acclimatise, I like to sit and watch everyone else.
There's so much going on at street level which is easy to miss - the intricacies of everyday life which is the real cultural beauty of any visit to any place.
This man could have been anything from a tea seller to simply a man sitting out on his porch - his "hangout area" - where friends may or may not stop past and share a drink for an hour or afternoon.
It's funny how when you travel, you go to see something specific, but years later, the things that stick in your mind are those quirky faces, unexpected moments, random experiences... and often what you ate or drank.

A shot taken from the City View Café, in Hanoi.
While the family enjoyed chips, spring rolls and cocktails I hung out over the balcony taking multiple shots of the passing traffic on this intersection. I tried various settings, some with a fast shutter speed to freeze the traffic and some with a slower shutter speed to blur the traffic. I preferred the ones with the slower shutter as it seems to convey the feeling of movement and mayhem that is the traffic around the city of Hanoi. The best shot I have seen from this intersection was taken by Sam Antonio. He has a fantastic stream and some amazing and inspiring shots from his travels through South East Asia. When I saw his shot from the same location I had one of those "why the hell didn't I think of that?" moments, and am now regretting a missed opportunity for a great shot.
