Dear whoever reads this,
After a good night of rest, I started my day at the seed bank photographing to local farmers and workers at the farm along with the landscapes and the seed bank. They taught me how to dye yarn using seeds from plants that actually turn purple! It was a technique that has been used for hundreds of years. I photographed for most of the day before Noi, a woman who works for ECHO and I took a vip van back to Chiang Mai. The countryside is so beautiful with a lot of rice fields and mountains.
When we got back into the city, she took me to an art district where they say the "hipsters" hang out. There, a friend of hers who is a coffee farmer wanted us to join an art collective that was going on which was really cool. He was welling his coffee, his friend created a bicycle that powers a blender to make smoothies and a cartoonist painter. They were all set up in front of a cool gallery and we had a lot of fun interacting with locals, tourists and looking at art.
After we finished, Noi took me tho my guest house where I unpacked and went our separate ways. She was so helpful and really wanted to help in any way she could.
Thanks for reading!!
