Thank you Torfinn … she had a very special face!

Thanks Adrian – I really wanted this one to be good, she was so engaging :)

Thank you so much John, I was really desperate to capture her face as I saw it … and if it works, that’s excellent :)

Thanks for looking :)

Thanks Barb, she really DID have a special face! Her teeth wer stained almost black from betelnut, but I couldn’t catch her smiling!

Thanks :) She would only smile when she saw the dollar – after that she just looked piteous!

thank you so much – I’m happy to have captured the light in her eyes, when her face was really in the shade :)

Thank you:)

Thanks Chris, I’m very happy I caught this – it’s a real moment in a fairly touristy town :)

Wasn’t it amazing indeed! We should trade stories! We were there in mid Jan this year.

I loved Hoi An, after arriving late one afternoon and being hyper-exposed to street touts and general botherers, and thinking I’d hate it… spent the next day wandering around, taking it all in, seeing some of the beautiful old buildings, finding this whistle woman, taking a boat trip that included being dropped on a desolate bank miles form nowhere, and our boat person taking us probably half a mile back to our homestay place through back streets and out-of-the-way places … ooooohh, I could go on for hours!!!

Thanks Graeme, and for adding to your favourites too!

Hi Matt, sorry I missed this comment – thanks for looking! No, she was in a boat, under a low bridge, hanging onto the edge of the parapet of the bridge with her basket of whistles just there.

Thank you – love that phrase, human document – really appreciate the comment :)

Thanks so much greenstone !

Many thanks Vanessa, yes, her expression seems wistful, sad, resigned, I don’t know. (Let me tell you though, she was a very canny businesswoman who responded only to those who responded to her, if you know what I mean.)
