Laos Kids Are So Cool! This video was created by a couple of the kids at the Lone Buffalo Foundation in Phonsavan, Laos. I worked for six months there teaching a media workshop for the kids and running a successful crowd sourced fundraiser at Start Some Good. It’s really amazing what a couple of kids with an aging FlipCam, Windows MovieMaker, and a ten year old PC can do… This made me very happy!
Here are the donor rewards for the Plain of Jars Project fundraiser: first, the black and white photographs that I shot on the Plain of Jars in Xieng Khouang Province, Laos. Second, are Lao Silk Cards made by local women who work in the province. Third, there are two items from the Quality of Life Association, which has a network of villages affected by Unexploded Ordnance. These villages produce items such as the smartphone-sized bag and the iPad/Tablet bag. Please donate below to get one of these great gifts!

About eight months ago I added a great piece of gear to my kit, the Chronos Lite time-lapse system by the Chronos Project. The shipping company used the first shipping box as a piñata and caused more damage to the rail than I could even imagine. This was a few short weeks before I was to fly to Laos and the Chronos team built me a new rail in record time. Excellent customer support… Everything since has worked like a charm. Here is a quick video of one of the motion-control shots (mostly what I use the rail for) that I used for the the intro to many of the videos on the project. Following are other videos for the project that contain shots done with the rail. Finally, below, are snaps I took of setups.
The fundraiser for the Plain of Jars Project is on until Friday, May 16th, 6pm PDT. If you would like to support this crowd sourced fundraiser for a great community project in the, per capita, most bombed place on earth, please go here:
