Mother Smiling And Boy Picking Nose

Shot at Thanlyin Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin, Myanmar.

People working in the Thanlyin Myo Ma Market were lazy and relaxed. When I focused on them, they could afford to smile because they were not busy. The woman in this photo was also easygoing in her shop. And it was not only her those who relaxed in the shop.

Her little son sat on the table behind her. He seemed to finish taking lessons and came to the place where his mother worked. Noticing my camera, the mother started to show me her cheerful smile. On the other hands, the boy didn't change his expression. He kept looking at the distance with an expression of boredom. In addition, he started to pick his nose. Seemingly, it was a way to express his complaint. He might be a bit frustrated with his mother, who adopted a smooth attitude to a stranger.
