Smoking Boy

Early on in the days shooting I came across a young man named Oh 30 years old crouching on the tracks smoking a cigarrette. Oh looked looked like a homeless kid, no shirt, wearing shorts with messy hair and very dark skin. He was curiously looking at me as I made some tryp-pics with the 6x9 camera and after I spoke to him in Thai he came closer and looked at the camera and told me his name etc. I made a number of photographs of him with the Leica and the Fuji 6x9. He was not homeless as we eventually made our way to a small shack where he put on a shirt. A very quiet man, I thought he might be mute, I wonder if he had a learning disability of some kind or if was just very shy.
