19th Annual Hong Kong Association Dragon Boat Festival<\/a><\/span>
\nLake Lanier, Gainesville, GA \u00a0| \u00a0September 13, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notes: Photos from my 9th(?) year at the event. \u00a0Thanks to all our sponsors, friends, and extended family for coming out to the lake again for a hot and fun day in the sun. \u00a0Oh, and thanks to everyone for best representing our Lao\/American culture. \u00a0Thanks to John and Van for taking some of the photos while I was in the boat. \u00a0Didn’t get an opportunity to shoot any Pocket Cinema video, so these colorful Nikon photos will have to do. \u00a0Lots of times a well composed photo is really all you need. \u00a0Hope to see everyone next year…<\/p>\n
