SUGAR CANE

Mèo Vạc, Vietnam, 2002 - Leica M7, Summicron 90, Kodak Tri-X * The market was closing and the stall was empty. I came across this cute little girl savoring a sugar cane stick. Hmong people and other ethnic minorities in these remote northern mountains have nearly nothing and eke out an existence all life long on the margins of society.
