Thread: Memory Lane (In my own language)

Dmitri Kessel (20 August 1902 in Kiev, Ukraine – 26 March 1995 in U.S.A.) was a photojournalist and staff photographer on Life magazine known for his courageous coverage of war on the front line. He used to come and work in Siam for a period of time.

Of all the various photos he took in Siam, there were ones which came in a set of more than 10 taken of a lone ‘horticulturist’ girl (sao chao suan) smiling. He seemed impressed of our ‘Land of smiles’ (1950).
