The last few weeks I have been in China leading a PODAS workshop. Interesting are to photography. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate much and we were stuck in the thickest fog I have ever seen. Actually we were in cloud as we were very high up on a Mountain in the Yusmnyang area of Southwest China. Never the less every now and then the fog would clear a bit and present some amazing images. This si a shot of a lonely tree with terraced fields in front as the fog opened up for just one minute. I opted for grain and BW to give more of the mood to the image.

Back From China With Something To Show
I have been gone for about two weeks. Had some business in Bangkok and then was a leader of a PODAS workshop in souther China. The area of China we visited is a very interesting area for sure. I have a lot of stories to tell. This image was made while visiting a typical Hani Village. It was located on top of a large mountain completely cloud covered. We spent a few hours walking through tis village and were photographing the people and homes. Quite a lovely place and good glimpse into how some people still live today. I had a group of 20 Chinese photographers with me and we were busy shooting two girls sharing some food in front of their house. Off to the side I saw two boys playing and trying to get our attention. I broke off and went to shoot the boys and they hammed it up and were having all sorts of fun. Then all of a sudden one of the boys grabbed his brother and gave him a great big kiss. And, BINGO there it was. A fleeting innocent happy moment.
