Human Emotions ; Reactions ; Spirit.

Curiosity Perhaps? I purposely left the right side of the image be as it is to arouse the confusion as to what is going on there .

The instant I took the second image, the look on the gentleman's face and reaction were recorded on the  sensor of the camera. It was a moment the subject realized that someone had taken his picture . It showed annoyance , suspicion , not sure how to react . Multiple thoughts must be racing in his mind for that split second as to what he should do next . I just gave him a big smile and a polite wave . Lucky for me , he decided to let it pass and did not make an issue out of it .

 

These two migrant construction workers in Lijiang were taking a brief break when I snapped the picture of them. The person on the right had just lit another cigarette for his mate and was in the process of handing over to the man on the left. It is interesting to see the reactions of the 2 gentlemen. The person on the right though noticing me in the first image but does not mind or care if I taking his picture ( 2nd one in the bottom. )

In the first image, the man on the left is unaware that I am using the camera and only realizes what is going on in the 2nd image .  What are his thought at that instant moment  ?

This is also an image of the human spirit of kindness , generosity, sharing  and comradeship . 

Preparing for an early start .

Pondering .
