One of my greatest pleasures in life is coming together with friends, family, or even strangers and having a large “family style” meal. “Family style”or “pot luck” style meals are one of the only times – in the age of the smartphone – that people are able to disconnect and come together. I wanted to give the observer the feeling that they are sitting there with me, seeing and eating all the food that lays out on the table, while listening to the joy around. The photo used is from a military celebration in Luang Prabang, Laos. The audio is from the same celebration where we sang, laughed, talked, and played bocce together.
