Photographer’s Note

A cyclodriver in Saigon who tried to convince me he was the best guide. He showed me a little notebook with a lot of pictures about his tourist friends. He was very funny but I was too tired to follow him

As seeing this photo, I can not believe its author is you, with the wonderful picture that I sincerely admired.

Have a good day.

I love this frame.

I remember going to Saigon and many drivers there are so friendly but so RIGHTTHEREINYOURFACE just like this image. The details in the face is wonderful too, the little imperfections and all.

I get the feeling that this person is really quite a character... Amusingly, I feel like you brought a fairly wide angle right up to his nose, same treatment that is often given to a donkey ;)... which given the persistance of some drivers, occasionally seems appropriate.

et oui une fois que tu as pris un "guide", impossible de t'en débarasser... enfin au Vietnam ils sont moins pires qu'en Inde. J'aime bien ce portrait, cet homme vu de près ressemble à un hamster. Ca m'étonne que Luan ne l'ait pas encore critiquée, lui qu aime bien voir les choses de plus près...
bonne netteté, on peut compter les poils qui sortent de son nez.
