Photos of the King of Thailand by Dewey

These are from a roll of 24. We were covering an agricultural news story. The King was checking in on one of his programs and was there to check in with the farmers to see how they were doing. The Princess was with him. 

As a Peace Corps volunteer, I was an Audio-Visual Specialist. It was my job to take pictures. This time I was shooting my own color film. I was allowed access like the other press and no one questioned my being there. I got 25 shots of the King.

That was a storybook experience. I got to observe the King at his finest.
