STREET VENDOR

Hà Nội, Vietnam, 2008 - Leica M7, Elmarit-M 90, Fuji Reala

How could I forget the unfortunate street vendors in my photobook on the Vietnamese people Vietnamese We - Người Việt Nam chúng tôi - Nous autres Vietnamiens? Chased nowadays by the police and often discredited in daily life, they actually deserve like the cyclo drivers as well, a better existence and remind me so much of my earliest childhood in Vietnam. I prefered to symbolize this blurred woman with her traditional conical hat and neck yoke heavily loaded. The bokeh rendered by this small lens is remarkable, isn't it?
