Meeting Old And New Friends

I received waves, wais and smiles from several of the folks in the dump today. It was nice to hear them say MING GAU LAU BAU (hello) as we met again. People were surprised and happy to see me again. I told one family that spoke Thai why I was away last year and what had happened to dad.

I need to proceed slowly and cautiously with all these new people, I am the new guy on the block to all of them. Tomorrow I will wander the shack/housing areas on the edge of the dump photographing the people that allow me to make portraits. The process will be slow and steady until the light becomes too harsh and the day too hot.
