The month of September in Laos means boat racing season. I photographed a local team through practice to race day, a truly local experience, and a wet one!
The boating fate of the village rested on these young men’s shoulders and paddles. They easily won the first race making it look simple; gliding along the water as if it were ice. However, the second race proved to be a bit more challenging.
