From the photographer's instagram: "Kalash women wash their hair in summer and winter in the stream in their village. Because according to the Kalash, who do not believe in the 3 major religions and Hinduism, washing their hair at home brings bad luck to the whole village. For this reason, Kalash women wash their hair in the open and by the flowing water."
"Washing your hair at home brings bad luck"? Who came up with that one? The village chieftan?
Brokeback River. We don't know where the other two guys are, they're late !
From the photographer's instagram: "It is crucial for the progress of societies, especially to educate women. Scientific education is particularly important, as it creates strong women who question, think, and produce. Two children . . . living in the Kalash region of Pakistan."
Just the feeling of freedom in this picture... I'm confined to a hospital bed, and this is the ultimate dream.

I think this is a brick factory in Kabul. It would be nice to have explanations for these pictures.
... the flock began to suspect that Little Bo Peep was irretrievably lost ...
Her black and white photography is rich and pure with incredible, subtle lighting and shades
Amazing that the lighting reveals details throughout the image despite the darkness and the dust, which glows
Her colors are so rich and her sharpness amazing given the motion throughout the image ... The central horse and figure is stunning.
Again, incredibly sharp despite assumed motions of the kids ... would have preferred that the half face in the foreground was omitted ...too distracting.
Rich colors, again and stunning lighting ... almost missed the figure under the window ...
As the years went by, Jake's outhouse was moved ever further from the main building
Yes, it is! There's something about the man that makes him look as though he were made by a talented sculptor... the stillness of the moment adds to that.

Guys carrying crop irrigation pipe? Being supervised by someone on a motorcycle?
Jake's early artistic attempts were ignored by passing aircraft and, indeed, the Space Station
Beautiful photo but truly troubling that they have no safety gear - not even gloves or special shoes
With the current flooding risk, Sir Walter Raleigh was taking no chances ...
Ironic that we value Turkish and other handwoven rugs so highly, yet they are washed and dried in such primitive fashion
Poor men, poor donkeys ... it is so wrong how both are treated = especially given the temperatures, etc. ... and look how skinny!
Another image of animal cruelty which is so prevalent throughout the world but especially in Asian and Arabic countries.
