    Congrats Colin, great shot. Hopefully soon I can make it to Laos. When where you there?

  • Colinizing Ph... replied

    I was there last holiday off teaching… 1 month ago I guess…. I have been there once before but I never had my good camera with me. This time I made sure to take advantage of the abundance of interesting shots.

    Children grow up so fast. The looks in the pairs’ respective eyes are so different. The little one, carefree, the big sister, wary. Thank you for submitting this work to Solo Exhibition, Colin.

    Hi Colin…wow what a powerful image hope you do well with this as every once and a while we get to show human emotion and this rivals some of the best that I have ever seen…being older i remember the powerful images of the Vietnam war and this is as good as any of those historic photos….
