Video: Loading Goods To Transport From Thailand To Laos


Everyday outside my Chiang Khong room I would watch goods being transported in small boats to Laos from the Thai side of the Mekong river. They would transport all kinds of goods from foods to building supplies, one time I even saw them take across a fridge! 

I ended up taking the 4x5 down to this spot and making several portraits of various workers. It was a bit tough shooting in that situation as I was trying not to interfere with their work. I am definitely getting faster with the Linhoff 4x5 camera, because of both practice and necessity.
