TTPM Sapa (Little Hanoi), Czech Republic

TTPM Sapa is located south of Prague, in an area called Pisnice. It's a mini community within a community and populated by Northern Vietnamese. It's a place where cameras of any sort are traditionally not welcomed so what better way than to test out the Leica. I did get a few looks and stares, fortunately no one approached me. The market area does have a sign that says no photography which is placed under the sign that says no guns or explosives allowed inside as well...

I prefer the first and third. In both I like the framing
and mood created by the black and white. They convey
a cool and unfriendly neighbourhood with seedy characters.
Just the kind of place I normally avoid in my travels.

Very nice feel to these. The art of seeing these pictures among the mundane has eluded me. Therefore it's not easy for me to critique.

:rotfl2: Classic. Hope you didn't buy anything from this market.
