Sweeper, Suoida, Vietnam, 2007

We stopped for a half hour or so to visit the remnants of the Cham people, who live deep in Vietnam’s rugged Central Highlands. They seldom see tourists there, and the whole village turned out to watch us walk up their main street. This woman has been sweeping her porch and she stopped to stare at me as I can by. I returned her attention with my own. I made portrait after portrait of her, and she never changed her curious expression. This environmental portrait adds important context, such as the costume, the unusual broom, and the simple, rustic porch. It tells more about her than a head and shoulders portrait would.
