Grandmother's Smile
One her day off, a hotel receptionist in Hoi An took me to several villages in the countryside. She knew I was a photographer and wanted to get photos away from the normal tourist trail. When we stopped at her friend's grandmother's home, I asked the older woman if I could take her picture. She smiled widely, reveling a set of betel nut stained teeth and captivating eyes. She had lived many years and experienced the war which had so devastated her country, yet there was still something of the forward-looking teenager in her.
