getting artsy in Hoi An

While in Hoi An (Vietnam), I was eating lunch one day when I struck up a conversation with another guy at the restaurant. His name was Peter, and he was a freelance travel photographer / writer. Sanne had just purchased a fancy camera in Saigon, so he gave her some photo tips while we went on a photo safari.

I might not have a fancy camera (although I will probably get one when I get back - had some serious camera envy during the photo shoot), but I still like to think I can shoot some good pictures. Here are some of the artsy shots I took while thus inspired in Hoi An:

lanterns galore

cute baby

some cool flowers

kids with bike

leaf-covered street sign

peter taking a photo of some of the local kids

the kids gather around to see themselves on the screen

fisherman at work

cool fishing boat

fisherman casting the nets (this is incredibly tough - I tried and almost fell off the boat - now that would have made a great picture!)
