Four young boys walk away from the camera down a red dirt road, each carrying a long stick, one in a white school shirt.

Four Boys

Vang Vieng, Laos. 2022

I saw four boys heading up a dirt road with sticks in their hands, busy with something only they understood. I photographed them from behind so I would not interrupt it.

They are all in step without meaning to be. Four haircuts, four pairs of flip-flops, and a road that is still being built.
