REMOTE RICEFIELD

Thạch An, Vietnam, 2000 - Leica M4, Summilux 35, Kodak Tri-X Buffalo is considered by many tribes as a symbol of abundance. Most people love gentle water buffaloes so close to them. I was so close to these lovely ones that I suddenly felt their powerful breath; which made me fall backwards right in the ricefield's muddy water, and the women burst into laughter. It took me about one hour to clean and dry my sturdy camera and lens.
