Photographer’s Note

a day spent with slide film, a telephoto, and a honda motorbike - winding through the maze of tracks that encircle Sapa...

Are they producing rice?
Quite interesting place. I liked the composition, but it is a pity that we cannot take a good look at the farmers who are far away...
Congratulations,
Alper Ayhan

I like this capture, Caleb, but I prefer to see you bring Fuji Velvia 50 across border at Lao Cai, and make another 200km to Yuanyang.
One day after arriving there, you will exclaime, "no wonder why that guy kept convincing me to be here".
Cheers!

Hi Caleb,

It’s always impressive to see these cultivated fields using different levels to cope with the numerous slopes of their environnement. Your high angle allows a great view, where jungle seems to surround the limited cultivable ground.

Yours subjects are well located in the image and the colours are natural but vivid.

Ciao!

André

Hi Caleb,
Just the other day I was helping my son with his Geography lessons and there was this whole lot about terrace farming. You have presented the perfect picture to show him what it actually is. Nice work with good proportions.
