Out to Lunch, on Flickr. Hai Ba Trung St in downtown Saigon. July 2013. At that time, you'd buy a DVD from one of the many street vendors and relax in
front of your flat screen TV, or as the Saigonese called it: "the no-ass TV''. Fuji X-Pro1 - XF 2.8/14.

Havana, on the Prado de Paseo (major pedestrian thoroughfare): I know very well you are not supposed to photograph anything that is military or police in Cuba having been taken to the police station for doing so before. But when I saw this young officer from the "Brigada Especia" with their black uniforms, black berets, shinny black boots who was leading this black police dog, I just had to half way raise my camera and look in his eyes for a response. He stuck this pose for about one second, gave me a slight nod, and walked on as if nothing had happened.

Nice backgrounder. Well executed communication and photograph.
