“Mr. Huang Yue Chuang”. This photo was taken on the bank of Li-River
close to Xingping fishing village. Mr. Huang and his four brothers are
from the last fishermen that still keep the tradition of fishing using
specially trained cormorants. In recent days, this ancient technique has
transformed into a tourist attraction and a source of income for Mr.
Huang, who desperately needs funds for buying medicines for his sick
wife. (Photo and caption by Andrey Pavlov)

| Boy monk with gun |
“Boy monk with gun”. At the annual Ananda Harvest Festival in Bagan,
Myanmar, thousands of monks from all over Myanmar came to receive alms.
While walking around the vast temple grounds, I chanced upon this boy
monk who was playing with his toy gun. Even though it was only a toy
gun, I found this image a disturbing juxtaposition of the peace that
Buddhism embodies and the violence that guns symbolise. (Photo and

| Left or right ? |
“Left or right”? I was taking some shots on the beach of Taghazout,
Morocco, when this little guy came up to me asking in what hand he was
holding a coin. After playing along I asked if I could take his picture.

the largest slum in Africa with over a million people. It is built on

| The Innocence of Love and Peace |
“The Innocence of Love and Peace”. The children in the remote villa of
Kong Lo in Laos were simply beautiful in the innocence of their smiles
and curiousity for these strangers among them, that after playing about
in a pile of hay, they were even more comfortable in front of the camera
and their true spirit in what I experienced in the simplicity that they
enjoyed around them and shared with me came through. The symbolism in
there chosen pose here speak volumes to me to learn. (Photo and caption
