What an impressive showing of culture and fun from so many vibrant Lao communities.<\/p>\n<p>I was only there for 7 hours on Sunday before driving back to Atlanta, but I still managed to shoot enough for this long cut. Next year I&#8217;ll be sure to stay longer!<\/p>\n<p>It was great running into friends I hadn&#8217;t seen in a while. Thanks so much to everyone for posing during my photo walk+talk! If anyone&#8217;s curious I shot this with my phone in the left hand and 3 cameras around me, with a 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm primes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Also, while editing all this I thought about one of the best &#8220;King of the Hill&#8221; episodes (which features a Lao family) titled &#8220;Won&#8217;t you Piimai neighbor?&#8221; Great stuff, I&#8217;m sure the clip is floating around somewhere.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A few of my photos, please view the video for the rest!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
