Lonely Tree

Tree, Fog and Field, China
Tree, Fog and Field, China

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

Two Happy Boys, Village in Hani, China

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.
