For those of you who are avid photogrphers you know what it's like when you see something that you think is a classic shot, a "golden opportunity." This is what I felt when I saw this loom in Muang Vaen in the late afternoon as we were getting ready to drive back to Sam Neua. The weaver at this loom had finished for the day and had set her bowl of bobbins of naturally-dyed silk she was using to weave in the discontinuous supplementary weft threads on top of the warp. And I loved seeing the uncovered partially woven textiles with the multi-colored silk threads being woven in the weft left draped across the warp.

The composition is "clean" and the empty bench in my mind invites the imagination to imagine who the weaver of this loom might be...

Anyone else like this shot?
