  • A two month old baby boy asleep in a hammock in Tang Tien, a bamboo basket weaving village, Bac Giang province, Vietnam. With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas.  These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.

  • Young men and children playing in the Nam Ou river, Ban Tang, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. The Nam Ou river (a tributary of the Mekong) connects small riverside villages and provides the rural population with food for fishing. It is a place where children play and families bathe, where men fish and women wash their clothes. But this river and others like it, that are the lifeline of rural communities and local economies are being blocked, diverted and decimated by dams. The Lao government hopes to transform the country into the 'battery of Southeast Asia,' by exporting the power to Thailand and Vietnam.

  • On the very last day of British rule over its Hong Kong colony, we see an elegant but headless life-size clothing mannequin seated on a chair on the shop floor of Chinese clothing brand Shanghai Tang. In the brand's flagship store, the last hours tick away before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight of that day signified the end of British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Shanghai Tang is an international clothing chain company, founded in 1994 by Hong Kong businessman David Tang Wing Cheung. This was the original store in Hong Kong's Pedder Street (in Central) providing the lead for 24 outlets worldwide.

Hong Kong was once known as fragrant harbour or Heung Keung because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • Elderly and young musicians in a Naxi Orchestra, a Naxi minority group playing at the Naxi Music Academy, Naxi Guyue Hui, in Old Town Lijiang, Yunnan province, China. The beautiful repetitive music they produce has been lost elsewhere in China and is threatened even here in Lijiang due to it’s ageing players. The instruments played did not survive the Cultural Revolution in most parts of China, but several members of the Naxi group hid theirs by burying them, to revive them in 1978 after the revolution. Music from the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties is played.

  • Tang Ruiren, founder of Mao's Family Restaurant chain, shows off some Mao souvenirs in one of her restaurants near the birthplace of Mao Zedong, in Shaoshan, Hunan Province, China on 12 August 2009.  The village of Shaoshan, in rural Hunan Province, is tiny in size but big in name. It was the childhood home for Mao Zedong, the controversial revolutionary who came from obscurity but eventually defied all odds conquered China in the name of communism. Now his home, a sacred place among China's official propaganda, is in reality a microcosm of the country itself: part commercialism, part superstition, with a dash of communist ideological flavor.
