Visions of Laos

At Phonsavan’s evening market.
I recently spent two weeks in Laos, taking photos and gathering information for two separate articles on food and travel. I was primarily occupied with these two topics until while in Luang Prabang I happened to run into Magnum photographer Abbas. Talking to him about his work, I was inspired to go back through the pics I had taken that didn’t necessarily have to do with my work. There’s little in common with Abbas’ work (he’s doing a long-term project on Buddhism), and no single unifying theme, but rather the images below are simply those that I find interesting.

I’m going to Vientiane for the weekend. My first trip to Laos so I’m very excited. I’ll be taking some pictures of course, but I’m sure nothing as stunning as yours. I especially love the one with the watch vendor. The colors are beautiful.
