When I travel, I find myself surrounded by eyes piercing through me. Constantly judging and eating me alive. It really doesn't bother me. In the bird market in Hong Kong, this woman immediately was drawn to me. Maybe it were the bird tattoos? When in another country, no matter how awkward, weird, or uncomfortable a situation is, I use it to my advantage. Yes, it gets annoying when people constantly stare and point at me like I'm a circus animal, but hey, I asked for it. I've learned to use my tattoos as the squeaky toy behind the children photographer's camera to get attention. People who normally couldn't care less about a white woman in their homeland, they take notice, and I take the photos.
