“This photo was taken somewhere in the famous Divisoria Market of Manila and shows 3 generations of men. First is a kid that seems to be playing and the middle-aged man in the centre seems to be thinking of something deeply, while the last man sits very relaxed while reading a newspaper. It is like an evolution from being a playful kid to a relaxed, worry-free old man.”
