Patience patience

For some of you who have joined my photo workshop in Hoi An, you may have seen this girl before.A word can describe the way I took this photo: patience.While walking near her house, I noticed how the shutter was slightly open, and was very harmonious in tones and light with the rest of the wall. The rainy season and humidity have added a lot of texture to it, ideal for a photo.I did walk a few meters further and I saw that this girl was sitting at her desk near the window, probably studying. As I saw her (and I knew her), I know a good photo was possible to do here. Light, wall, etc... all was there.I stepped back to the beginning of the wall, and lined up my students next to me (paparazzi mode!).And then I called "hello my niece!". As she heard that she put her head out. Clic - clic - clic - more clics than she could hear!   Normally this is a type of photo to capture with patience. As I knew this girl, I could afford to call her like that. Also as I was leading a group of students through a village, we did not have all day to wait! But with patience, she would have eventually showed up without calling her...
