I was walking around Ho Chi Minh City and suddenly I saw this boy seating in the corner of the street, selling Incense and Cookies. I have to be honest, I only shot the photo, I feel sorry I didn't buy anything from him or give him money, my apologies for that. Thank you for your visit!

I don't see children like this photo in Japan. We can tell one of aspects in Ho Chi Minh. Great shot!

@Duncan Galbraith: Thank you very much Duncan!
I wonder if the fact that you hadn't bought anything from the boy impacted him at all? Probably not. However the impact of this photo of him is great. I'm glad you happened upon him when you did.

I think this is a great image. Journalistic. Capturing people in real moments is something I like to see! Nice!

This is a really sad pic to see. Makes me wonder how many kids are in this same position in which they have to work at a very young age, whereas to support themselves or their families. This pic shows us another part of society that's there, but that we generally don't want to see and avoid. Reality check.

@paperdoll: Thank you very much Paperdoll, it is really sad when you see this kind of scenes, you come to think about why does this happens, is there a reason for this, what do we do about it!
