My wife and I were on a 3 week trip to Vietnam last January. We were visiting a friend of hers and this old woman came up and sat down near me. I saw this image in b&w as soon as she sat down. I had my p&s camera with me but did not want to be so obvious that I was taking her photo. So, I got out my cell phone and was able to capture this. I'm not a people photographer, but, I found the Vietnamese people very photogenic. Her face tells the story of a very hard life in very harsh conditions.
