Villagers are very friendly and will invite you into their house, even invite you to their neighbours house

We haven't figured out if this kid is a boy or girl..

Villagers spend time listening to music, chatting or playing sports

Hi Willy. :thumbsup: Stocking up for 2006 "Life is GREAT!".

These are some very impressive series of travel photos. It is great to see so much interaction with the locals in your photos. PR skills is definitely important here.

In case anybody is interested... all photos are shot with the Nikon D70s..
Lenses are 10-20mm, 85mm and occasionally the 17-55mm

Hey willy....agree with the guys on the interaction part to get a more personal frame instead of those typical 'tourist' shots :thumbsup:

However, I cant help but noticed the distortion of your WA :think: Given your level of experience, were they deliberate ? creativity ? or I reckon there wasnt much time for you to snap before you lose that moment ?....esp. the monk shot

*just curious*

Basically the distortion doesn't bother me.. most of the time.. I'll try to use the distortion to emphasise and exaggerate some parts...
