Tradition

A photo of mine that won a photography contest here in Hong Kong and was featured specifically in the winners article

A really funny thing about this little girl is that I shouldn’t of taken this photo. She was standing outside a temple with her parents dressed in a modern version of traditional Thai clothing taking pictures with tourists as they walked by. The thing was, though, after the photo was taken she’d demand money for her services. I was watching as one man didn’t understand that this was the deal and after he took the photo he refused to pay. As soon as he did this little girl actually ran up to him and smacked him in the balls. This photo was snapped a few seconds after she did it and, as you can see, she was extremely amused by what she’d done.

Taken with a Nikon D5100 with a 70-300mm macro lens.
