Dawn Shoot 5:30am
Art 487: Vietnam Location Photography, 3 credits;
Today we will photograph the exciting chaos of the morning market. With it's scents and sounds and throngs of buyers this location shooting opportunity will prove both challenging and exciting.
Today, we also visit the handicrafts workshop call Reaching Out located in the ancient town of Hoi An. You can help them with ideas for re-designing their web pages and brochures, develop new products, train their staff in English, compile their CD catalogue and so on.
They're now in need of a couple of posters and I hope you could help them with your expertise.
Reaching Out is a Humanitarian Organisation that employs people with disabilities, and the store offers a place to showcase premium crafts to international customers.

Looking back...
This day was a pain in the ass. The dawn shoot in the market was a waste of sleeping. It was an overcast morning and everything in the market was under tarps in the shade, so all the shots we were getting could have been achieved at any other point in the day (and the shots would probably be better). The market was so crowded; people kept pushing us and trying to drive through the crowd with motorbikes. All it smelt like was fish and piss. Went back to the hotel, ate breakfast, and then Reaching Out happened.
We thought we only had to shot 50 items...turned out to be a few hundred. We were there for 5 hours and almost no one had eaten lunch that day, so we were all starving and tired since we had also been up since dawn. Their photograph had bailed on them at the last minute, so they managed to get us to do it for free. Great.
The rest of the day ended in alcohol and food.
And Bali Well!!! Okay, best place I have ever eaten food in my life. We sat down and they just dropped food on the table and showed us how to roll it all together into an amazing spring roll thing. It was spring roll, bbq pork, cabbage or kimshi, some leaf items and a egg pancake all in rice paper dipped in peanut and/or chili sauce. And they pretty much fed us. If we weren't already eating or making a spring roll, they came and made them for us. They literally put food in me and Evan's mouths'. It was the most awesome and delicious eating experience of my life!
