Richard Howe’s photographs of Manhattan street corners capture the many identities of a multi-faceted city. The sequences of images read like a film where we are peering into the lives of the people who define the city’s character.

Understanding why a country that was until recently a beacon of pluralism in Asia has become such a “mess”, as the king put it in 2006, is impossible without lifting the thick veil of reverence surrounding him.
can’t wait for Bhumibol’s death. all this nonsense is keeping me away from the amazing food and sights of thailand

Nokia overreaches
