Relocation: Polis.
There are "crowds" in Cyprus; not in the sense of lots of people in one spot (ever, really); but a crowd that might haunt one cafe in the afternoon, then all pack up for the same bar later at night, repeating the pattern the next day. When I went camping ... read more

[Kimana, Kenya] I shot this photo in southern Kenya, where I spent six months teaching biology and wildlife conservation. To conduct research and lessons, I would trudge through the bush with weighty boots, carrying a backpack full of gear and water. Meanwhile, most Maasai men had little more than tire sandals and a walking stick. These two essentials are treated more as a part of their uniform than a fashion statement, as a Maasai man is never without either. Only the intricate beadwork offsets the ruggedness of the cracked feet and sandals.</p>

[Antsanitia, Madagascar] In Madagascar, your clothing makes a statement, literally. <em>Lambas</em>, brightly colored pieces of cloth worn by men and women, are inscribed with Malagasy proverbs, including phrases like, "God loves everyone," and, "Respect your parents," and, "Beware my rival, for he still loves me." Although worn throughout Madagascar, <em>lambas</em> are much more common in warm rural areas than in the cooler plateau, which houses the nation's capital.</p>
<p>Here in Antsanitia, a small village on the west coast, women wear <em>lambas</em> sewn together in circles, making them easier to tie up. The woman on the left sports one as a skirt and head covering, while the other wears hers as a dress. The yellow paste on the woman's face is Malagasy sunblock used to protect the skin. As we were waiting on the shore for the day's catch (shark) to be cut up, I couldn't help but notice the impeccable coordination of this woman's orange fish to her shirt. I always knew they were more stylish on the west coast!</p>

[Timbuktu, Mali] I had only read about the ancient Tuaregs in history books, but I never thought I would actually meet one. However, here I was in Timbuktu riding on a camel next to these two men, their noses and eyes peeking out from neatly wrapped turbans. We chose a sand dune with a good view for the sunset and recuperated from the heat. Seated on the ground, I asked the men to describe one of their normal excursions into the desert. The older one took a deep breath and leaned back onto the side of his camel, as if about to retell a story of great hardship. </p>
<p>"Imagine 15 days through the Sahara desert to the salt mine," he said. "Average temperatures during the day easily reach over 100 degrees. Thus, you move at nighttime. One camel is not enough; you need three: one for mining equipment, one for food and water, and one for you. At the mine, it takes over a week to retrieve 12 slabs of salt<span style="font-size: 11pt;">—</span>four for each camel. Then the trick is to make the 15-day trek back with the new burden. Forty days in the desert is risking death, but you must do it for money, just like your forefathers."</p>

[Havana, Cuba] Graffiti artist and rapper Nono has a style that extends beyond clothes. This photo was taken in her Havana home, the walls decorated with her societal critiques and messages conveyed through graffiti art. Havana's hip-hop scene crawls beneath the more well-known Cuban sounds of salsa and reggaeton, serving as an underground venue where rappers can voice their opinions about controversial topics such as racism, the government, and sexism. Perhaps inspired by the '90s hip-hop movement in the United States, Cuban rappers don a wardrobe of baggy clothes and dreadlocks, a style that makes a statement about more traditional fashion norms in Cuba. As a woman, Nono uses her graffiti and her rap lyrics to speak about sexism and the true meaning of female beauty. Her hair, her clothes, her art, and her words create Nono's strong and inspiring style.</p>

</span>[Seoul, South Korea] While walking in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, I encountered these two Koreans, both artists. I thought they would be the perfect subjects for current fashion trends here in Korea. Vests seem to be rising in popularity, especially among young men. Coupled with a regular T-shirt, the combination makes an interesting play on the contradiction between business and casual. Even though it was a cloudy day, the man in the foreground wore sunglasses, perhaps a nod to Italian and European influences. Few men sport un-shaven faces, but some have very thin mustaches and light, sculpted facial hair.</p>
