I was wandering through the backstreets of a small village when I saw this old man. He smiled almost toothlessly at me, and demand a $1 to take his photograph. How could I refused?

    Me, too, Heiko...and I took it twice! The first time my card crashed about 4 hours after taking it. So I raced back, and scoured the village for him. Took me about 90 minutes, but I found him again. The second shot was not as good. And this is actually the first! When I got back to Australia, a friend managed to ressurect the card that crashed!

    Very good shot of a person, who seems to be poor, but lucky in his live. I am always a little bit fearful to photograph people in foreign countrys.
