When dragons attack...

Dragons are very powerful creatures and they like to cause a lot of damage. I was witness to such an attack back in 2008.

Was a young lad wandering the streets when suddenly a dragon rounded the corner leaving a trail of fire.

The Sculpture

The sculpture itself isn't important, but what it represents is. In Siem Reap, Cambodia there is a project called Artisans d'Angkor. There, Cambodians learn traditional handicrafts that were almost lost during their recent history. Not only are the lost arts saved but the craftsmen use the skills learned to earn more. This craftsman creates sculptures for private clients during his weekends. This particular one is for a Chinese client.

Strobist info: 1 flash in softbox at 1/8 power camera right lighting the sculpture from the side. 1 flash with hard light on a VAL lighting the craftsman to accentuate his muscles.
