~ a fleeting glimpse ~, a photo from Ha Noi, Red River Delta

Photographer's Note

Watching people going by in the streets of Hanoi....

A zoomed point and shoot of a small time street hawker on her daily routine, carrying yoke and baskets under the morning blazing sun selling fruits and vegetables. You can see a hardworking face under the conical hat and I guess most of us cannot imagine how hard she works daily to make a living. Most of her typical day begins very early at daybreak which ends late in the evening.

The sheer physical effort and the enormity of the task at hand is a real test of strength and determination.
This courageous woman has my upmost respect....

Hi Abmdsudi,difficult light and distance, so the quality isn't the best, but this portrait is truly nice,with the lady with her typical hat,and masked too,looks like an early preview of Covid days. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Abmdsudi
A charming portrait. I like the way the sun penetrates the hat and lights up the eyes.

Hello Abmdsudi,
A very good side portrait, really well zoomed in on the face and hat of the person, who is also nicely lit by a warm sunlight from the side. Well done.

Hi Abmdsudi
In Vietnam and other Asian countries the women carry some amazing loads. A good distant street photo.

Hello my dearest friend
At first I thought that this
was a photo taken recently
during covid 19 period...
but then I saw the date
which was too old..2007 02 13...
this is a n impressive
photo
from a hidden portrait
but artistic enough...
and the title...the best
chosen...
regards
Costantino
