[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Vendors are a familiar part of Hanoi street life. Carrying their goods in twin baskets suspended from shoulder poles, or on the backs of bicycles, they sell everything from dragonfruit and sticky rice to whisk brooms and plastic buckets. Hanoi government has been trying to clear the streets of vendors since 2002, because they disrupt traffic and public security, and make foreign visitors think Hanoi is just one big market. Now, street vendors have more to worry about than just the police. Per-capita income in Vietnam is growing by eight percent a year, and modern supermarkets are proliferating in the country's cities.

Why I always feel a bit of sadness when I look at some Vietnam scene? I guess it's from the movies about the Vietnam war...I so like this scene of their daily life, yeah it's little too blur for my taste and yes one of the baskets is cropped, but I cant help it, I just love it, I love that white hat:)

Hi Guy,

I like this. A kind of panning shot! Yes, 8 percent per year, but on whose expense? Quite often a pretty skewness in who will benefit and who won't...
I like it, but I have to agree with Gordana that it is a little bit too blurred. The focus is right, when looking at the bag in front and the oranges in the back! But the shutter speed could be just a bit higher!

Greetings!
Dennis
