Yuhom. Yuhom – Ngiti – Smile | Noun Oxford // A pleased, kind, or amused facial expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. Or for some, it's the easiest way to hide an aching heart.

Waiting Game. This boy albeit nervous was still in a cheerful mood while waiting for his turn to be circumcised. Circumcision or tuli in Tagalog is taboo in some cultures but this medical procedure is considered a tradition and a must for all boys in the Philippines. Taken during a medical mission in Dancalan, Ilog, Philippines. 2014 . . . . . #bnw #bnwportraits #bnwphotography #monochrome #instaportraits #portraitsofinstagram #portraitphotography #kulturangpinoy #tradition #visualcollective #canonme #canonphotos #killaframez

The Breadmaker. Captured on the streets of Kish Island, Iran. 2015 I was on a visa run and on my second day in the island when I went out for a walk. I passed by this woman making traditional flat bread and when I signaled to take her photo, she cheerfully posed for the camera. It doesn't matter who or where you are or how much or less you have. You are capable. Capable of love, of laughter, of HOPE. @rawadelhachem @canonme #canonme #streetsoftheworld #sotw_dxb
