Image of The Week: Vietnam – The Face of Time

Whilst walking the streets and alleyways of the UNESCO World Heritage listed town of Hoi An, I ran into this very old woman. Her face was like a time line into Vietnam’s last century. It was a hot day, so I decided to sit down in the shade for a break and have a bite to eat, when she approached me. She put her hand to her mouth indicating she was hungry, so I shared some of my food, and then asked if I could take her photograph.

    That’s a great description Shannon. There is no doubt that this woman has seen her fair share of hardship throughout the years. You can see it in the eye’s. The eye’s never lie…
