Varanasi (Inde) - Suite de la série publiée depuis deux jours. Il s'agit toujours d'invités à un mariage qui, à la sortie du temple, dansent dans une ruelle étroite, au son d'une fanfare.
Une photo semblable a été publiée ici il y a 5 ans, mais elle a été effacée.

This is one of my favorite shots from Myanmar—just a quiet, fleeting glance from a kid hiding behind some woven stalks. To him, I was probably the oddest thing he’d seen all week, since tourism hadn't really touched his village yet. It was right at the dawn of the country's democratic opening, and you could genuinely feel that buzz of new possibilities reaching all the way up into the mountains. But knowing how brutally things have regressed since the coup, the photo hits differently now. He’d be a young adult by now, and I always wonder what kind of reality he’s trapped in today.

The Mireuk Daebul at Bongeunsa — a 23 m stone Maitreya, the tallest stone statue in Korea, carved under Master Yeongam from 1986 to 1996 with donations from over 10,000 temple members and dedicated to Korean reunification. The temple itself dates to 794 and was the head temple of Korean Seon Buddhism from 1551 to 1936 — now sitting a few hundred metres from the COEX mall in Gangnam.

The "hat" is a stone canopy, descended from the honorific parasol held over rulers and holy figures — and it also keeps rain off the face.

Thirty years ago (in the mid-1990s), traveling to Siem Reap was a great adventure. The roads were often just mud tracks. Potholes were as deep as bathtubs. The journey took many days.

People told us that this house is not for sale because its the homestay of some ghosts and thats the reason why nobody moves in.

Draft animals in a changing state

In the uplands of Shan State, the hill tribes have long depended on water buffalo for the everyday mechanics of life: ploughing terraced fields, hauling crops and firewood, and moving people between scattered villages along narrow dirt tracks. These animals are not just “traditional” but part of a political economy shaped by altitude, marginal roads and decades of limited state investment, which kept motor vehicles rare and made animal power the practical technology of choice. When this photograph was made in 2012, Myanmar had only recently begun to open after military rule, and places like Hsipaw were emerging as launch points for short treks with one overnight stay into Palaung villages — bringing a small number of outsiders onto paths that had until then served almost exclusively local agrarian needs.

In Shan State we signed up for a “hill‑tribe trek,” a phrase that for many people suggests a wild journey to hidden villages deep in untouched jungle. What we actually found was more ordinary, and more honest. The walk began at the edge of town, past tea shops, concrete houses and small roadside stalls, then slowly turned into dirt tracks between fields and low, sometimes burned hills. It was still a change of world, just not the postcard one.

The “remote” villages we reached were clusters of wooden or bamboo houses on stilts, a concrete water tank in the middle, maybe a tiny shop with instant noodles and cigarettes, people working in the fields, children watching the newcomers. When we stayed overnight, we slept on thin mattresses laid on wooden floors under mosquito nets, with simple toilets and short bursts of electricity from a small generator. Less a wild expedition than a quiet look at how ordinary hill‑country life actually works.
