Group of people from Rajasdhan moved to chennai for their life and living. They do idols with Plaster of Paris. They make small to large idols of Ganesha, Murugan, Saibaba, Krishna and so on. There are around 40 families settled in Manali, Chennai. It is difficult to document their activities in a short time I spend with them. But, I could manage to get some shots.

100 out of approx. 7000 photos taken Malawi, Africa during my film project for Fair Trade, illustrating the great experience and time I had together with Ben, Tadeusz, Sebastian and the wonderful people of Malawi.
This is the same young girl rambling through the herbs in an earlier photograph.
What struck me in this perspective was the rosiness of her cheeks from the little sun she must have received that day. No alterations, except trying to tone it down a bit, were done to the color of her cheeks.
I think it was the look my mother use to call a "peaches 'n cream" complexion,
Saihoji (西芳寺, Saihōji), more commonly known as Kokedera (苔寺), is one of Kyoto's Unesco World Heritage Sites. Entrance to this templerequires a reservation made well in advance by mail.
Kokedera offers the unique opportunity for visitors to participate in some of the temple's religious activities. Every visitor to Kokedera is asked to contribute to the observances of kito and shakyo (respectively, the chanting and copying of Buddhist scriptures, called sutra).
After entering the gates, visitors should proceed directly to the temple to pay the entrance fee and begin the sutra copying. They will take a seat at one of the low writing desks. A monk leads the room in sutra chanting and then the copying begins. When ready, visitors can take their sutra paper up to the alter and exit. After the kito and shakyo, a stroll through the moss garden is not to be missed.
Completing the entire activity may take over an hour and sitting on the floor for this length of time can be uncomfortable. It should be stressed however, that copying out the sutra is not as challenging as it may first sound. A tracing of the Japanese characters guides even those with no previous knowledge of Japanese calligraphy or Buddhism.

During World War II, the prison was occupied by the Japanese and most of its buildings were damaged by bombing. The prison was re-opened for use in 1946 after restoration. When Hong Kong was later declared a port of first asylum for Vietnamese refugees, Victoria Prison became a transit and repatriation centre. It was subsequently developed into an institution with modern management facilities for accommodating discharged inmates of both sexes prior to repatriation or deportation. The prison buildings were declared monuments on 8 September 1995, together with the adjacent former Central Police Station and the former Central Magistracy. It was officially decommissioned on 12 March 2006. It is currently under renovation and will be reopened as the Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and art.
Shuri Theatre 首里劇場(www.shurigekijou.com) is Okinawa's oldest cinema, nestled quietly away in Shuri, Naha City. Opened in 1950, the cinema was a central presence in Okinawa's entertainment culture, allowing visitors to enjoy both theater and films. The slightly dilapidated building currently gives off a nostalgic vibe as one of Okinawa's historical monuments, and continues to this day to be in operation as an adult movie cinema. A retro Showa-esque atmosphere drifts through after setting foot into the theater. The rows of unusual long benches and leather covered chairs with an antiquated feeling paint a unique landscape, and are coupled with a screen that has been in use since the theater began business. Also used as an event site, Shuri Theatre became a hot topic in 2014 with the performance of the Shibusashirazu Orchestra, a big band known for its one-of-a-kind performances.
“When I’m photographing, I look for the personal style with which something is worn — sometimes even how an umbrella is carried or how a coat is held closed. At parties, it’s important to be almost invisible, to catch people when they’re oblivious to the camera — to get the intensity of their speech, the gestures of their hands. I’m interested in capturing a moment with animation and spirit.”
- Bill Cunningham (1929 - 2016)
