A Family Reunion Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Le Tao Mo" or the "Graveyard Visiting Day" falls on the 23rd of the 12nd Month of the Lunar Calendar, or a week before Tet. In Vietnam, it is the day for family members (usually a few generations) to get together and make a visit to the tombs of the asendants. Tombs are cleaned and necessary maintenance would be done, then everyone pray for the ancestors.

It is quite common to see tombs on a field, such as in this case, when you go to the country side, and they are not far from the village.

Nowadays, with families settling in big cities, the Day is quite a nice occasion for every one to spend the day together.

Well see, ThaiSon. I've hd a go at focusing in incense once in Burma thing called "Smoke gets in your eyes"). I like yours a lot, in that it allows the family scene to unfold dscretely, movie-like, in the bokeh zone. very good use of the horizontal frame.
Good work,
Francis
