Pictured here is a cute and lovely street vendor in Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown which is in Manila, Philippines. Initially she was hesitant to be photographed, but later I managed to convince her somehow even though we didn’t speak the same language. This was taken for the 28mm Portraits Project.

She is so pretty! Her smile says a lot. Even though she probably doesn’t earn a lot from selling things on the street. She is very happy with her life. Beautiful shot
Yeah, she was so lovely and wonderful :)
Magnificent shot! This image of “lola” (Filipino word for Grandma) truly depicts how once can manage to give a genuine smile beyond any hardships in life. Thank you for making her smile on that day and for sharing this to the world. Hope you had a pleasant stay in the Philippines. Cheers!
