Every year after the Chinese New Year, the Chinese communities in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, come together for a huge procession in which the deities of the five different dialects are jointly carried through the whole city. Various performances, operas, and rituals are shown over a couple of days.

Boy in Window

A window made of bamboo reflected in the eyes of the boy and created a pattern. His eyes tell a story, as our eyes are the window of our soul.

Boy in Car, Cuba

Photograph by Serena Amaduzzi, My Shot

It was a rainy day, and I was passing by when I saw this cute little face looking at me. I stopped for a while and looked back at him. He smiled and I laughed. Suddenly I realized I was sharing something special with someone, a kid, who I'd never see again. 

Saudi Woman

A Saudi older woman (in this case my own mother) posing in the traditional Saudi burka. There are different types of burkas for different regions, and despite what they've come to symbolize, they are a part of tradition and not religion.

Mongolian Man

This photo was taken while we waited for our van to be fixed in western Mongolia.

Woman, Rwanda

Photograph by Amanda Siceloff, My Shot

This photo was taken as part of a series of portraits of the women affected by the Rwandan genocide. This woman lost her husband and all eight of her children. She was cut all over her body by machetes and left to die. She survived and has forgiven the men who killed her family.

Vietnamese Woman

Mrs. Trai (a Noi Due villager) posed for a portrait at the Lim Festival, Bac Ninh, Vietnam, February 26, 2010. The long red dress indicates the woman is at least 90 years old.

Young Girl, Venezuela

Photograph by Ana Viloria, My Shot

Faithful representative of childhood, this Venezuelan native is from south of Lake Maracaibo in Zulia. A child who goes beyond beauty, charisma, and hope. Bobures is the town where she was born, grows, and is happy to play.

Farmers, France

Photograph by Kiritin Beyer, My Shot

The high-top farms of France are among the last outposts of a generational tension that has already played itself out in most other Western communities: a tension between the hardscrabble farming life and the siren song of industrialized urban centers. Are the fathers—the farmers—merely dinosaurs, anachronistic vestiges clinging naively to the ways of times long gone? Or are they our potential boon-bringers, reminders of all that the new generations have forgotten but ought to revive?

Painted Face, Canada

I met this gentleman at a pow wow in northern Manitoba. He told me his paint and outfit came to him in a dream.

Man, Cuba

Photograph by Elektra Carras, My Shot

This photo was taken in the streets of the town of Trinidad, Cuba, in January 2011. I noticed this man's eyes from a street away and his look gave me chills. I spoke to him and he simply nodded and indicated that he would let me take his photo. Most likely a "campesino" (farmer), he was calmly observing the busy street activities taking place in front of him. His aura was peaceful; I feel as if I captured his warm and balanced energy.

Young Boy, Afghanistan

Photograph by Joshua Treadwell, My Shot

Outside Kunduz Province, Afghanistan. The anguish on this young Afghan face is not from the desperation of extreme poverty; it is instead a face of jealousy, given that his older brother (not pictured) just took away his soccer ball.

Children, Morocco

Photograph by Francesca Vernia, My Shot

Morocco is made up very disparate regions and desert villages. I took this shot in Ziz Valley, between Rich and Merzouga.

Young Cowboy, Montana

Beau Sudbrack of Saco, Montana, waits by the fence while waiting for his dad, Dale, to saddle his horse. Both Beau and his sister Jada have their own horses, but Beau still has a lot to learn when it comes to horsemanship. Nevertheless, he loves riding his horse.

He is a cowboy, and I found a unique expression in his eyes.
