Let’s go to Pennsylvania and photograph some Amish people. That was easier said than done. The last things these people are waiting for are tourists with big lenses hanging out of their car and photographing them day after day.
I drove around hours, seeing not what i wanted and i almost gave up hope when i saw her, barefoot on her Amish scooter. A little bit of a shy smile. Hi, she said. Finally i had my girl….thank you!
Enjoy...

Walking the streets of Hoi An. A lot of rain during my stay, not much going on. But near the canal some very photogenic people were waiting for me. Some small talk with hands and feets, a picture, and a big smile in return.
Enjoy...

Walking the streets of Hoi An, Vietnam.
She came walking towards me, not taller than 1.50 meter and not shy at all. Talking Vietnamese, no idea how that goes but she was willing to pose for a moment. The signs of life in that great face, she must have seen a lot of terrible things in her life, but i'm wondering why she had these blue eyes.
This was the second time i saw such a beautiful old face, the other one i took in Cuba, will post that one later.
Enjoy...

We are at Pisac, not the town in the valley, but high in the Andes mountains near the ruins of the old Inca city.
Tourists all over and she was walking in the burning sun trying to sell anything, but people walked by her if she wasn't here. I was sitting in the shade for at least 30 min, observing her, how she walked, trying to sell her stuff....a hard life that's for sure. The boy was heavy on her back and when getting thirsty she gave him something to drink, a moment i waited for.
Enjoy...
