ANSWER
The first picture looks like an Asian man, making or preparing something. My perception is that he is preparing something so he can cook something later. He is likely to be poor but has accepted that this is the way his life is and he content with it. My perception is based upon a countless number of Asian cooking and travel shows I have seen on TV. I feel like I have seen this type of person down by a river getting ready to fish. The charcoal color on his fingers makes me think he’s getting ready to smoke some fish for his family.…….please click the icon below to purchase full answer at $5
