Sapa, Vietnam

Sapa

Shot on Agfapan 400, developed in HC-110B.

This was the view from my homestay in Sapa. It wasn't exactly a homestay though given the term. I felt like I was in a cheap hostel in the countryside, contrary to my expectations of sleeping under the same roof as the locals, or even eating dinner at their table squatting on a tiny plastic stool.

Anyway, when I stuck my head out of the hut, the mountainous landscape was misty, and the clouds had completely blocked out the sun. I had always imagined taking a photo like this, photos I had always seen online, with the mountains having no texture but just forming layers in graduated shades against each other. It was a perfect opportunity (: And after development of the film, I was quite surprised to see the light falling into the valley. Whether it was the sun's rays breaking through the clouds, flare, or even a development problem, it sure worked!

Back from Vietnam

My photos from Cambodia haven't been completely uploaded, and now I have photos from Vietnam too! Good golly. Fortunately I took half as much photos in Vietnam (:

Here's Miak and I, sitting outside the gate before our flight.

We thought we were late as the status said last call so we ran all the way down, only to see that many people hadn't arrived (:

Shall put up more photos when I have the time.
