Last but not least, I rounded off the weekend with a super interesting and funny one day photo workshop with A Day of Photography in Chiang Mai. The workshop focused on street portraiture and allowed me to get up close to the local people and their daily life and experience very precious moments with and without my camera.

The towns of this Chinese province have an abundance of dental shops. Most ladies cover their hair but whoever can afford it proudly reveals their perfect gold teeth.

Selling Cattle
Kashgar, Xinjiang (May 2014)

The Sunday Life Stock Market is the place to be if you are into selling or buying cattle, meeting friends and eating local food or just getting dusty and taking interesting pictures.

Playing kids
Siem Reap, Cambodia (August 2013)

Away from the hustle and bustle at the Temples of Angkor these kids keep themselves busy building their own miniature temples out of mud.

Weaving scarfs
Mondulkiri, Cambodia (August 2013)

In this remote village an elderly lady spends her days in front of her house, weaving scarfs which will then be sold to as passing visitor or at the region’s market.

Invitation for tea
Bagan, Myanmar (June 2012)

Strolling through a somewhat remote temple complex this monk welcomed us and led us to his room. He invited us for tea and even so we were unable to speak a single word in the same language we had a very lovely conversation.

Family at Home
Bagan, Myanmar (June 2012)

After posing for the family portrait the kids showed us around their house and a small hidden temple and proudly pointed out that the fruits on their mango tree were delicious to eat.
