    [BREAKING THE STEREOTYPE OF LATINO MALES] At the Santa Catalina festival I witnessed this moment of dedication and tenderness from a local campesino farmer towards his baby. He had such focus of care as other men around him were loudly partaking in other activities. I was particularly struck by the timing of this moment and my reflection of it, as right behind them was a sign 'Protecto' (protection in English). This, I think, may have been a sign for a brand of fertiliser, but nevertheless I found it reflected the essence of the moment and my thoughts around it. During my travels in Panama as a female, I was at times taken aback by macho and chauvinistic attitudes of some men. However, like many countries around the world, it is changing and I was pleased to be get insights into greater open mindedness around gender and associated roles. by: mimosa Views[715] I still feel somewhat uncomfortable with myself for taking this shot as it appears so exploitative at first glance, but this woman had been so proud and eager to get a photograph of her baby that I couldn’t refuse. But this was exactly the sense of acceptance that I felt within the Kalimpong community. These people are so strong, with an incredible adaptability to whatever dilemmas come their way. by: juliezhuphotography Views[738] This was the first time I had visited a developing country, and in hindsight I'm so glad it was India. Within the first day I'd had a breakdown when the reality of extreme poverty hit me. And yet reaching the more secluded hills of Kalimpong, I witnessed the positive side of poverty. The appreciation that the people had for every little thing was and is something to learn from. One of my biggest learnings was how universal certain traits of humanity were. For instance, the motherly love and pride in this photograph is a familiar subject matter, something we can recognise immediately without needing to know anything more. While India as a 'place' was completely unfamiliar to me, motherly love was as familiar as anything, leaving me questioning the concept of 'place' as location. by: juliezhuphotography Views[883] The shepherds take their families to the jailoos. If not all their children, at least the youngest ones. Women are responsible for the yurt, turning it into a living place during the day and a sleeping room at night. They cook and help with the animals catering. by: elisecolette Views[680] Gorgeous Bolivian baby of our friend in Uyuni, Bolivia by: wanderlustkiera Views[476]

    One of the last set of women to have her feet bound, she crawls around the courtyard on her hands and knees when she thinks she is alone. In her 80s now, her bound feet are still painful. In younger days she was known locally for her skill as a paper cutter. Here, with a chopped-off fingertip (farming accident) and a giant tumor in her wrist, she takes scissors and slices through a delicate sheet of paper for the first time in many years. : by skj, Views[574]
