People I've Met
|
|
On the bus ride from Luang Prabang, through mountainous
territory the whole way, our minivan pulled over to the side of the road
for a piss stop
Kids were breaking for lunch from their school, and wandered down the road toward us |
|
|
They hung around, curious |
|
|
And just up this trail these three kids were watching us I came to photograph them, and they backed away, laughing Every time I tried to approach them, they ran, then returned Notice the girl in the pink dress and the boy in yellow shirt |
|
|
But when enough kids had gathered round, those three joined the crowd See her at the back, him in the middle? |
|
|
Then something wonderful happened They all started singing See that girl clapping? They were all singing and clapping enthusiastically Wish I had a video of 'em |
|
|
Gawd, I love photographing kids! |
