Two Boys Killed, Two Badly Injured From UXO In Laos
This is not the news I like to share, but this is what brought me back to Laos and why I’m working here. Two boys were killed and two badly injured in Savannakhet Province after discovering a piece of UXO and inadvertently setting it off.
UXO_Kills_Children is a .pdf of the article.
Sickening…

Dennis Ziliotto And The Wet Plate Collodion Clown
Time for a little break from the Plain of Jars Project. I haven’t yet ventured into working with wet plate collodion, a photographic process from the 1800s, but in anticipation I’m a member of two great Facebook groups, one the Wet Plate Collodion Group, and the other, the wonderfully named Collodion Bastards: Wet Plate Work of Questionable Parentage. There is just absolutely stunning work in both, but I came across an image that I can’t stop looking at. Here it is:
The only word I can come up with is mesmerizing. It is almost as if the image is so disturbing that I can’t look at it for long, but I keep coming back to it. At one moment the clown is sad, the next threatening, and then the next just looking, with no intent whatsoever. I love that each time I look at it, I get a different impression.
I truly thought it was a man made up with makeup, but as you can see below, I was wrong on both counts.
