While strolling through Hội An, I tried to capture images of daily life in a town which is almost picture perfect for a photographer.

The town is renowned for its tailor shops where a suit can be made to measure, or duplicated from an old one, in one day. On the plane I even read an article saying that high fashion has found a niche in Hội An.

While I was taking pictures, a small girl waved to me. I saw her standing next to her grandmother and made her day with this picture.
