Piglet hunt, Suoida, Vietnam, 2007

While visiting a village housing descendants of the Cham people, a member of our tour spotted a pair of baby pigs and was determined to get a picture of them. After a vigorous chase, the piglets finally gave in and allowed him his pleasure. I photographed him from behind as he bagged his quarry. I thought the scene was incongruous -- the scale difference was enormous, and while the man seems quite intent on his mission (he even bends at the knees to get a bit closer), the piglets seem to have lost interest in everything but searching for stray snacks.
