This video is an edited version of the live broadcast from October 17, 2020.

Sam Dobrow presents several of his cornerstone photographs from his 110+ page photobook, “Orient Expression: A Photographer’s Journey to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam”. Dobrow explains how his journey to Indochina evolved from a childhood fear of dying in The Vietnam War to becoming a passive observer of an ancient civilization that overcame war and embraced altruism. Dobrow’s works include HDR images, panoramas, and infrared photographs all brought together with a signature post processing style.

Faced with the challenges of organizing a large festival in the era of COVID-19, ACP turned their attention to technology and created a virtual festival for 2020.
