Ribbons And Smile

Shot at Thanlyin Myo Ma Market in Thanlyin, Myanmar.

Walked a street-facing corridor. The shops doing business there were clothing stores, toy stores, and others. The stores selling perishable foods seemed to be set to open inside of the market. Therefore, few shoppers walked the corridor like me. It was not suitable for buying clothes at this hour. The staffs of the stores seemed to have nothing to do. They just waited for customers coming idly. The girl in this photo was one of the disengaged staffs.

A plastic chair was placed in the deserted corridor and she sat on it alone. She worked in a clothing store and wore a cute dress. Her dress was vivid blue and some ribbons were seen. When I focused on her, she started to smile bashfully. I was sorry for her smile because I was not her customer.
