  • Five friends walk briskly along a street in the southern Polish city of Krakow. One of the ladies is a bride and has either just married the your man whose arm she's holding, or she is hurrying to her wedding ceremony and the friends around her are all on their way to the church. Another girl is probably her bridesmaid, dressed in frilly blue. There are bouquets of fresh flowers and this is a very special day for these young people who are delighted to attend this wedding somewhere in this city where so many atrocities occurred during the second world war. The picture looks dated from the 1980s but it's the summer of 1990, when Poland was about to undergo massive changes economically and culturally. Their clothing looks very east European for that era and are about to stride past a unisex hairdresser's shop window where a model's face stares to the viewer.

  • After threshing the rice in the upland field, an Akha Cherpia ethnic minority couple transfer the grain into sacks to carry down to the village. Swidden cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.
