During my half-time walk, the sun was setting and I thought the lighting was cool so I started looking for someone to take a photo of me. It was really busy on the main street so I asked an Indonesian-looking woman who was sitting on a bench.

It was like I asked her to shake hands with an alien. She had no idea how to use the camera or how to wait for me to get ready before she pressed the button! Having little faith in her I asked for a 3rd photo. She thought she'd try something different... a full-body portrait haha. Her facial expression suggested both a lack of comprehension and the excitement that comes with venturing outside the box. It was really great.
