krobert6 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Lisu definately not Lisu.. wearing an Akha style hat.... but with Hmong decorations on the collar. Often Thais dress their kids in a mish-mash of hill-tribe style clothing, put together to look nice, since the tourists will not know the difference anyway, and have their kids dance or pose at places like Doi Suthep temple for donations. Cannot blame them. The kids are cute too. Just not real hill-tribes. LOL sorry got my shots mixed up - here is the Lisu, and yes I know the difference between the tribes - I have lived with them in the hills as my ex was Lisu. The Akha shot was taken at Doi Tung during a festival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) School Festivals are always enjoyable, to capture some of the Thai dress & ceremonies! This was from on of the events on Samui, in 2010. I think they usually happen in February, so something to look for and attend!

MJP Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ordered a c.1974 Asahi Pentax SMC 50mm f1.2 which has just this hour arrived. It is mint, as in like new. On my K-5 it is sick! Thought it was going to be a difficult beast to focus but not so, the focus ring is silky smooth. The phrase 'they don't make 'em like they used to' is the only way I can sum this thing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
