Global Eye: Vietnam

| Comments (5)
•

Photographer: Nara Rocha from João Pessoa, Brazil

Getting the shot: The picture was taken around March 2008 in the colorful streets of Hoi An, Vietnam.

The Details: This beautiful Vietnamese old woman was selling flowers on the streets of Hoi An, Vietnam. The picture was taken during the early morning; on my way to the fish market I saw this woman fighting to balance the heavy flower basket on her skinny shoulders in front of a perfect yellow wall. For a second I hesitated between help her or take this shot...Fortunately I could do both.

The Camera:  A Nikon D50, 55-200mm lens.

We Love: The bright colors, and the delicate balance of the baskets.

I have been to Vietnam twice. Though Vietnam is a colorful and interesting country, a photo such as this is taken only by someone with an artistic eye. Very nice.
