    Your image has pricked my imagination, what is this young boy thinking. This pictures works very well. Congrats.

    Thanks so much Barbara. What a lovely comment. He was probably wondering who the strange redhead “farang” (foreigner) was who was in the middle of this festival in remote Thailand!!

    great capture

  • khosie replied

    Thanks Antanas… there is a bit of a story behind this… I hate taking photos of people… I feel so shy, intrusive and awful when I do it… my issue… but John Spies…he is on redbubble.. he was with me and encouraged me to get involved and I finally bit the bullet and bit by bit felt more comfortable taking photos. Now I look back I am really pleased. I feel priveleged to have captured such a beautiful moment. xoxo

    Oooh, how I would love to go to this festival. I love this costume and you have captured it so beautifully.

  • khosie replied

    Thanks Marjorie, we were looked after so well. I felt like a bit of a dork as there were only a couple of “farangs” (foreigners) there. I am really sensitive towards intruding on other cultures festivals and tend to shy away from taking photos. Luckily, we were with a mate who I mentioned above who encouraged me to take photos and enjoy being a part of the celebration. It was so special to be there and it will be one of the most beautiful memories I have. We were looked after so well by the community and people we were with. xoxoox

    Steve McCurry’s portrait ‘Afghan Girl,’ is one of my favourites out if all his images. I find his work really inspiring. Best wishes, Julie.

  • khosie replied

    Thanks Anthony… this was another creeper. I was like “Yeh,nah it’s ok”... hehehhe. Funny. I should take that as being an indication I should put it up!
