IMAGES: ASIA
AlaPAR always goes handheld camera to capture the essence of their trips. Below you can see some of their images, but if you remain with desire of more you can see more albums on Flickr and on their first, second, third & fourth blog.
NEPAL
Birthplace of eight-thousanders, humble and hospitable people, Nepal stands as a genuine country in which don't forget its millenarian and ancestral culture. Thru the heights of the Himalaya to the depths of the Tibetan community in exile, through the reality of the children of the street, AlaPAR recollected the memory of this earth in the heart as well as in several documentaries and reports.
INDIA
" How is it India?
Yesterday you asked me and I,
that still I take his powder in my sandals
and his light as an ember in the eyes, I pondered and could not answer you.
India is dirty water and brilliant Sun, greyish powder
between the gold and the silver,
an old man in squatting plaiting without pause
and a penetrating gaze girl."
LAOS
Land of karst landscapes, dream skies, calm and friendliness. Although it has been a country devastated by foreign wars, the strength of its people teaches you that poverty is wealth without thinking about tomorrow.
VIETNAM
It seems that in Vietnam capitalism won the war instead of the communism. In spite of this, you can still find rare treasures such as tribes hidden between the mountains, floating markets emerging in the ramifications of the Mekong or numerous dream landscapes.
