Somchit Vongphachanh
a river town on the Mekong in Laos
Somchit Vongphachanh rises early to tend to the old Ferris wheel by the Mekong River. His life is entwined with the gentle creaking of metal and the laughter of children that dare to ride. At home, his closet teems with shoes from family who've passed, a touching archive of memories, each echoing stories of kin who once walked this earth.
