Best Photos Ever Taken (Of Carb Crops) (By Me)

You may think these photos are totally random, but I am obsessed with them. I have spent hours pulling out specific pixels of color to emphasize how vibrant and striking these things looked in person. I love taking photos like this – of basic, boring but totally vital things like corn and rice, and turning it into something fun and special.

Both of these photos were taken in a small village around the area of Sapa, Vietnam in the northern highlands region of the country. The rice crops there are amazing, because they are grown on impossibly steep hillsides. The nice wide shot of rice here was taken at the top of the mountain, which is why it is a large field. Talk about a tremendous amount of work.

The corn was the end of season harvest put out to dry on a large tarp in the middle of the road. It was huge, and absolutely covered in corn of all colors. The sun was incredibly bright, and the corn just gleamed in it.

All in all, this was one of my best photography walks ever. (All photos are, of course, copyright ACMJ Productions)
