fotografr Posted August 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) We have a very large farmers' market Saturday mornings and about a third of the vendors are Hmong. They are among the most pleasant, congenial people I've met anywhere, such as this lovely woman who was more than happy to allow me to photograph her after I complemented her on her beautiful clothing and hat. Next week I'll take her a print. CL/18mm Welcome, dear visitor!

abrewer Posted August 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2018 In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while the Hmong lived in south-western China, their Manchu overlords labeled them 'Miao' (barbarian or savage) and targeted them for genocide when they defied being humiliated, oppressed, and enslaved. A beautiful picture beautifully executed. Thank you for sharing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted August 11, 2018 Thanks, Allen. Our country didn't treat them much better during the Vietnam war. As you know, we recruited them to fight the Viet Cong, then abandoned them when it came time for us to get out. It makes me feel good to see these Hmong farmers having good lives in our area today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 12, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2018 Very nice. We had the pleasure of meeting some Hmong when we traveled SE Asia. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
