I spent the year between June of 1985 and July of 1986 in Asia, teaching in Malaysia. During the year I traveled to India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Japan, and Australia. This group of pictures shows some of the people I saw on that trip.  On the left are the oil paintings on canvas.  On the right are the slide photos I took at the time.
Several tourists at the Taj Mahal in Agra, India.
These two men in Xian, China, were playing Chinese Chess. The photo was overexposed but I liked it just the way it was.
The men were inside Da Ban City Peasant-Trade Market in Urumqi, China.
These children were in class in a Tibetan refugee camp in Nepal.
These artists on the island of Bali in Indonesia were  making wood carvings for tourists.
