wandering around Luang Namtha town one day, I photographed a mechanics workshop where some men were working on a truck. When i asked if I could take some picture, the mother came out with her children and requested some portraits. She was initially shy, but eventually got more relaxed. I have the obligatory 'smile' as well, but like this one better
I visited this village with two guides, doing a preliminary survey to identify possible routes for new eco-tourism treks. On arrival, some of the little children ran away crying, since they never saw a falang before in their village. Nale District, Luang Namtha province, Laos More at http://kees.zenfolio.com/
