I walk pass the old abandoned hospital in Luang Phabang pretty much everyday and in the same way, my mind passes by it everyday without giving it any thought at all. And in the slowness of my brains it suddenly occured to me that it might make a good photo essay... and what's better is if I involve the photographers at the listening library and challenge them to take pictures in it.
You see, the library breeds some really good photographers, coming back after 2 years, I can see that their work have improved dramatically. However, being in Luang Phabang, a land of such abundant beauty, one is not hard pressed to find suitable subjects for photography. Hence, this aims to challenge the kids to lend beauty to something as ordinary (to a certain extent, ugly) as the hospital.
The winnner gets 25 US dollars... nothing much really, but considering that they make about 30 usd a month, that is a pretty substantial amount of pocket money to play with. So here goes, these are some of the photos I shot with the library's digital camera.
