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.

A beautiful old lady so well captured with your camera! I really do love this kind of photography of ordinary people taken from another part of the world.
