If you want to feel really good about your photography skills go to Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. This place is so photogenic. The people are always on the move, like the two women pictured here. One is zooming off in her moped to who knows where. The other is leaving the Long Bien Market where she just purchased fruits and vegetables to sell. It’s 6 am and she will spend the rest of the day walking around the city selling whatever it is she is lugging in that cart. You see these women all over the city and at all hours of the day and night. But you never truly appreciated how hard they work until you go to this early morning market. They wake at 4 am just to make it to the market to buy the vegetables they will sell for the rest of the day. You feel really bad for the ladies that you see when you are bar hopping at midnight, with just a few vegetables left to sell before she can finally rest her weary feet.
