I wasn't prepared for this shot. We were about to board a bus when I saw this old woman with distinct white hair sitting on the road. Crumpled in a pose, half praying, half-begging with face upturned, she was gazing forlornly at the passenger who went up the bus with camera in his hand.

I didn't have time to frame my shot. I placed the cam on my hip, pressed the shutter, and hoped I have captured the look on her face. Minutes later in the bus, I was still thinking of her.
