Several cities in Montenegro, as well as the park Durmitor, considered World Heritage by UNESCO but not yet officially because Montenegro has yet to ratify the World Heritage Convention of UNESCO.

  • A boy attempts to scare a younger boy while playing inside a house in the Lahu slum in Chiang Mai.

On the banks of a polluted river, in poorly-built houses, live more than a hundred people from the Lahu tribe. They live in a slum in Chiang Mai, Thailand, away from the Lahu people’s original way of life. Usually, the Lahu people get their resources from the forest. The slum has been there for decades.

Despite this harsh reality, they are a civilized and caring community: they share with each other, families help other families, and if there is an important decision to be made, then it is made together. <br />
<br />
They learn life the hard way, and every day can be a struggle. It is a life with a visible contrast between care and discipline, where beatings and punishment do occur, but the love and compassion of family members are essential for survival.

  • A young local boy seats at the underground entrance of Largo do Chiado, next to the famous A Brasileira coffe shop.This photograph is part of a body of work about Lisbon, feelings, affections and loneliness.

This part of Lisbon, the old town, with his deep character, where local people meets foreigners and alternative ways of life mixes with shamefaced poverty, is sublime by its peculiar light.

  • An old women looks for her granddaughter who recently eloped with a boy. The parents didn't approved the marriage, so the girls is assisting to the fair looking for candidates. Each spring in Mogila, Bulgaria, is celebrated the Gypsy Bride Market. In this festival the virginity is for sale. The honor can be bought. Every girl has a price to be agreed between the parents of the girl and the candidate. The price can range between 1.500 and 10.000€, in a country where the minimum salary is just over 100€. The market joins the Kalajdzii families, known as the thracians tinkerers, whose tradition is still alive. Many girls dress as real princesses, others prefer to dress in a modern way. They dance during hours the ring dance while grandparents and parents watch the way the young interrelate. Many girls dream to be married by the rite imposed by the tradition. Nowadays there are some girls that don’t agree with the tradition and would prefer not to marry, although they assist to these market all the times. Divorces and elopements, so far taboo, are becoming everytime more frequent. Beyond the topic, ethnologists, define it as the Kalajdzii’s disco, where the family honor is involved in a commercial transaction. This ritual has being celebrated for years, so anthropologists think is not going to change too much in future.

  • A boy relaxes and watches the rain from a house in the slum during the rainy season.

The children grow up in conditions that are very hard on them both mentally and physically. Many of the children have to sell flowers and are punished if they don't sell enough. They wander around for many hours during the day and night, trying to sell flowers in the roads, markets, restaurants, and bars of Chiang Mai.

  • A boy plays with fireworks during the Vegetarian Festival in Thailand. Every year during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival kicks off. The religious festival in Phuket, Thailand, lasts for 10 days, during which sacred rituals take place in the many Chinese shrines and temples. Walking on fire and climbing ladders with bladed rungs barefoot are two of several rituals believed to bring good fortune. The main purpose of the festival, however, is spiritual cleansing and merit-making. The origins of the festival date back to 1825, when a traveling Chinese opera company came to Phuket to perform for the miners there. An epidemic broke out and as the members of the company fell sick, they adhered to a vegetarian diet to honor two of the Emperor Gods, Kiew Ong Tai The and Yok Ong Sone Teh. When they became well again shortly thereafter, the people of Phuket followed the companyÕs example - and have celebrated the festival ever since to bring good luck to their communities.
