  • A Laoseng ethnic minority woman returns to the old village to collect firewood after her village of Ban Watai has been temporarily relocated away from the Nam Ou river, during the construction of the Nam Ou Cascade Hydropower Project Dam 6, Phongsaly Province, Lao PDR. The Nam Ou river 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.

  • Luzriminda T. Abello (42) collecting sea snails whilst walking through the mangrove forest at low-tide, Obo-ob, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. Fishing communities in Bantayan reported severe damage to mangrove forests after typhon Haiyan but the government has yet to conduct an assessment of the impact.  Mangroves forests are critical in ensuring the sustainability of fish production. They serve as spawning grounds and nurseries for fish and are a habitat for a wide array of organisms. The salt-hardy trees also protect coastal areas from wave action and can prevent some of the inland damage associated with storm surges. Oxfam is working on various projects to support mangrove protection in Obo-ob.

  • Wearing the traditional kimono, a middle-aged geisha lady from the 'Minamoto Kitchoan' store collects money from westerners in London on behalf of the Japanese Red Cross Tsunami appeal. While standing in the street on Picadilly, in the heart of Westminster, an English gentleman stoops to organise the contents of his briefcase. Originally, the Geisha were traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance. Such a scene is unusual on a London street but the tsunami disaster encouraged many ex-patriate Japanese to collect money from Europeans for their countrymen.

  • A woman collects riverweed from under the rocks in the Nam Pa river (a tributary of the Nam Ou) in Pak Nam Noi, Phongsaly Province, Lao PDR. The riverweed will later be washed, dried and eaten or sold at the market in Pak Nam Noi. For families living away from the main roads and markets, food caught or collected from the wild, especially edible plants and small animals still make up fifty per cent of their diet.  Nature’s bounty in providing for the Lao may be plentiful, but this does not mean that the task of growing and finding enough food for family subsistence and maintenance is easy. It is a major preoccupation of rural families and takes the bulk of time and energy of every man, woman and child.

  • Exterior of the Royal Academy in Piccadilly where the exhibition entitled Charles 1, King and Collector is exhibited, on 6th April 2018, in London, England. This is a new cast of the original that was first exhibited outside the RA in 1904 and is an allegory of the human need for new challenges, of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon and the future. King Charles I amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer – and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. Following the his execution in 1649, the kings collection was sold off and scattered across Europe. Many works were retrieved during the Restoration, others now form the core of museums such as the Louvre and the Prado. This show reunites the greatest masterpieces of this magnificent collection for the first time.
