Blind Blindness Fortune Fortunes Future Hanoi Predict Predicting Prediction Sight Sits Teller Telling Vietnam Vietnamese
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the bustling streets of Hanoi, Vietnam during the 1910s, a blind fortune-teller intently focuses on his client, providing a prediction of her future. The image captures a moment of deep connection between the two individuals, as the fortune-teller, with unseeing eyes, relies on his heightened senses and intuition to deliver insights into the unknown. The scene is set against the backdrop of a busy Vietnamese street, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of daily life. Vendors hawk their wares, children play, and people go about their business, creating a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Amidst the chaos, the fortune-teller and his client find a quiet moment of reflection, their focus on each other uninterrupted. The fortune-teller, dressed in traditional Vietnamese clothing, sits cross-legged on a low stool, his hands resting on a set of ancient-looking tools. His client, a young woman, leans in close, her expression a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. The exchange between them is a testament to the enduring human desire to seek answers and understanding about the future, even in the most unexpected of places. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Hanoi during a bygone era. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit, as well as the power of connection and communication, even in the absence of sight. The blind fortune-teller's ability to provide predictions, despite his blindness, speaks to the depth of his wisdom and the profound impact of human intuition.
