“Louis’s turn” is the Partout tradition proving the rule that a picture is worth a thousand words. (Also proving that, despite appearances, Doris can write short if there is a compelling reason to do so.)
In that tradition, here are 16 of Louis’s favorite shots from our month in the Stans. They all but speak for themselves.
Until next time….
Partout with Louis & Doris 
Loved them all! And I need to know: the Uzbek B&W photos– those are Bukhara, yes? And the burst of color, Samarkand (or Khiva)?

Reversed! The B&W were all in Khiva. The burst of color was magical. When we walked through Bukhara before sunrise, all the colors were muted and natural. As we were returning to our hotel, this balloon vender emerged with a burst of color signaling the day had begun.

What a lovely collection of photos to have as a keepsake of this remarkable trip. What photo equipment did you use, Louis? You have a great artistic and journalistic eye: your pictures cause my mind to wonder and at the same time teach me something new. Bravo!

Thank you for the kind words. Especially welcome from a fellow photographer.
I use my Sony 6600 for most everything except closeups, like the village man, and shots on the fly, like the overloaded car, which I took from a moving car. I also usually rely on the iPhone for night shots, like the one of white Ashbagat. I carry a Sony telephoto 70-350), but I never used it on this trip. It’s mostly for trips involving wildlife that has to be photographed from a distance, but I always carry it because I’d hate to miss a great shot because I left it at home.
