Many of the people working at Myo Ma Market were taking it easy. Even when I pointed my camera at them, they had time to smile at those who had nothing better to do. It is important to be relaxed when you are working. The woman in the photo was one such relaxed person. She was a little different from the others in that she was not the only woman in the store. The woman's young son was also there. He had probably finished his classes today and came to the market where his mother worked.
The boy was squatting on a table behind the woman. When I pointed the camera at them, the mother gave me a cheerful smile, while the boy remained miffed and did not change his expression. The boy was staring off into the distance and picking his nose with a disgruntled look on his face. I wondered what he was unhappy about. He showed no interest in the camera. Perhaps he is not happy that his beloved mother is cheerfully responding to a strange old foreigner.
