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!
At the end of the day Tha Phra finished 4th out of 8 teams, a very respectable finish for the young Tia team. They had a lot to be proud of. Finally, as they came off the boat for the last time, their intense ‘game faces’ eased up a bit and they turned back into young boys as if the spell had been broken.
