Monica Lin, Integration

This was the first picture, in a series for an article about integration into Barcelona life for Asian people in general.

I went to visit the restaurant Monica’s parents run one afternoon at a quiet hour, the family were eating lunch but her father got up and insist I try his special green tea from Taiwan he assured me was superior to the usual stuff, being more mellow.

I decided to photograph monica near the entrance because of all the decorations and colour. I wanted to cram the picture with as much as possible, it seemed appropriate for such a cheerful and friendly place.

I left with a gift from the father; a bag of the special tea.
