Seventh Place - Boat people by Antoine

Viet Nam

This is the price they have to pay for the freedom which most of us are taking for granted by escaping from the communist! That price is their life!

From 1975 to 1986, thousands of people had been dead at the sea resulting by hunger, storm and/or pirate. Thousands of women had been raped, killed or sold to the whore house in Thailand on the way to search for the freedom.

Thanks atothev for letting me know. I took this picture last year when I went back there for a visit. It's not an actual boat people picture, but many of them have used this kind of boat to escape from the communist from 1975 to 1986, thousands of people have died in the sea. People in this picture just used this boat for their transportation around the seaport. Antoine

Antoine, I like the use of the sepia tone here. Do you have any more background on the picture? Also, to answer your previous question your photos were moved because of the 150kb size limit. I'm glad you got them under the line. They are very nice.
