Yeah a lady walked up and tried to make me take her baby. The poor thing was snotting and visibly sick. The small villages in Sapa Valley are a little more poor than the rest of the country though.... They are tribespeople, essentially.

 

It was sad but also kind of scary.

 

So we walked away and shotgunned a beer ftw.

 

Whoops lol she got it covered.

I missed shotgunning a beer though- that was the best part.

take her baby ? vietnam not that poorly .. ?

also, hi mrs stepheng ... i'm a cool guy that everyone really thinks is awesome, heeh ..

 

We were in the hill tribe area in the mountains, so they are bit less.... well off there. I guess this lady tried to hand off her baby to Stephen G and it was all sick and boogery...and she kept telling him to take it... it was bizarre, lol

 

And hello!!! :)

 

maybe she thought that he was an USAID doctorb .. mums don't usually give up their kids like that. or it was some hilltribe thing where they were being super accomidating, "oh you said she looks cute, here have her".

Those are amazing man!!!! Care to elaborate on the context or whatever? The first two resonate with me quite a bit.

Wow, these are gorgeous. Sorry about the late reply, but I didn't see these until now. They hit me right in the aesthetics, in a perfect way.

Fanks manaton! Yeah really pleased with the way they came out. Gonna do some more in autumn/winter I think and see what happens. Maybe use the technique on a few different cameras too

thanks mang

took them both yesterday during a foggy morning walk to the train station, so I could commute to work.

those are pathways between different streets, pretty much akin to a 'back alley' except more like a 'side alley' walkway. Around this area of the north west of England, they're the kind of places you don't necessarily want to hang around unless you're doing a deal or something else similarly shady.

At that time of morning, and with the fog and the lighting, I got a feeling of isolation and loneliness from them. Snapped them, and well, the rest of my day was pretty much determined by those pictures. Ended up having a pretty shitty day of feeling isolated and lonely, due to other circumstances.

But the pictures came out cool, so it's a win overall.

Reallly, Reallllllllllllllly awesome pics man. Those deserve to be album or movie covers.

Do you mind if I share them? Credit to you of course.

I might've already said in here, but I'm gonna say it again - thank you everyone, seriously, for being so encouraging.

If it weren't for the encouragement and kind words from people here, I probably wouldn't have the confidence to try and push my photography further than just taking pics on my phone.

honestly, thank you so much.
