  1. Into Everything

    Few moments feel more perfect than cresting a mountain pass in Mongolia, reveling in that moment before you're lost again to the most beautiful, unforgiving wilderness in the world.

  2. Full Moon Party

  3. Street Barber

    In Bangladesh, one of the world's most crowded countries, life can't help but spill out onto the street. Barbers in the northern town of Bogra set up shop on the sidewalk with just a chair, a mirror, an old rag and a set of razors; men can get a shave and a haircut for pennies.

  4. Country Life in the Mekong Delta

    One morning in the Vietnamese town of Chau Doc, located near the Cambodian border, I rented a motorbike so that I could spend a day leisurely puttering past hamlets and fields in the surrounding countryside. When I came upon these kids -- they had just spent the day in the fields with their parents and were now on their way home -- we smiled and laughed at the enjoyable sight we were to each other...something we never could have done had we been rushing by in automobiles.

  7. "Welcome to Kuala Lumpur"

    Malaysia celebrated 50 years of independence in 2007. It was also a year that saw a heavy push by the Ministry of Tourism to increase the number of visitors to the country.

  9. Prepping for the Full Moon Party

    Each month during the night of the full moon, up to 10,000+ visitors from around the world descend on a quarter-mile stretch of beach on the Thai island of Ko Phangan. In addition to music, dancing, and monstrous amounts of alcohol, the carnival like atmosphere of the party includes a fair amount of body paint, illustrated by the travelers in this photograph.

  10. Cricket, anyone?

    Fried crickets are a popular roadside snack in Thailand. This photo was taken in Aranyaprathet, near the Cambodia border.
