Date: 2015 | February Name: Still Working Location: Vietnam | Hanoi Collection: Existence Photographer: Ugo Domizioli Description: The day begins with lots of walking, I just love exploring new places. Hanoi in North Vietnam is truly special with its narrow streets in the Old Quarter.
I walk along one of the many market streets, they are pretty much all market streets with hundreds of shops.
I see this very old lady sitting on a traditional low stool, she is huddled with a headscarf even though I thought it quite mild. The element that really jarred me was……her feet.
She was cold yet wearing flip flops/sandals, choosing to sit on a low stool when a full-size chair is nearby. It was the old worn out socks with huge holes that made me think just how little income she probably earns.
