This is Rafael, one of the two guys who watched my back while I was doing the night shots close to China Town.

Yes, he looks a bit as if I would not want to discuss with him... :-)

@Observing: I couldn't wish a better one! He's actually a friend of mine.

Mooi zoals je zijn gezichtsuitdrukking hebt weten vast te leggen! Ik zou 'm niet graag in het donker tegenkomen ;) Door het donker/lichtspel krijgt de foto nog meer dreiging, mooi gedaan!

@Monique: Bedankt Monique! De foto is ook niet echt scherp, het is inderdaad de gezichtsuitdrukking in combinatie met het donker/licht wat het voor mij toch de moeite waard maakt. In het dagelijks leven is het gewoon een lieve, rustige jongen. :)

I don't who would mess with you with the looks of this guy. Great gritty scene.

You were in good hands. A very dramatic capture. The surprise here is the notion of a Panama City Chinatown. How large is this section? How is the food?

@Stephen Phillips: It's not that big or actually interesting at all; a lot of rundown buildings and no Chinese food to be found, whoever, at the entrance of the section there's a Chinese arch and a great fishmarket and restaurant.
