Golden teeth, a photo from Louangnamtha, North

Photographer's Note

This shot taken by my friend was in an Akkha village and we called this guy golden teeth. This guy had some teeth made of gold and he told us that was the best way to keep his money !!!

He is wearing our sunglasses and it was the first time for him !! Nice moment ...

Hi Xavier. Wow, what an interesting picture and accompanying note. Evidently, life in Laos is very different than life here in Florida! Hard to imagine never wearing sunglasses, and having to keep your money in your mouth ; ) I apperciate you sharing this with us all. Good to be reminded how much we have to be thankful for!

I do wish we could see the rest of the child's head that was cut off. It is still excellent work though.
