Their photos will be developed, juried, and shown at galleries throughout the United States and Mexico.

“2:35am sitting around a water fountain in a small garden square, bats flying overhead, crickets singing all around, a light rain starting to fall.” (Sean O’Neill’s mp3 from Vientiane, Lao PDR ["Please Don't Rush"])
“Nats are the animist protector spirits of Burma; like the living gods of Haiti in voudon, Nats possess their devotees in music — and intoxicant — fueled ceremonies. My wife and I were welcomed when we wandered into this ceremony and ushered to the front of the tent, where possessed transvestites fed us fiery liquor and fruit.” (Aaron Ximm’s mp3 from Inle Lake, Shan State, Myanmar)
More soundscapes are at SoundTransit, a “collaborative, online community dedicated to field recording and phonography”.

Before Jim Morrison became famous with the Doors, he and Mary Werbelow were soul mates. In the never-ending procession of Morrison biographies, she is mentioned briefly but never quoted. Google her, and not a single photo appears. She has never spoken publicly about their three years together — until now.

The People’s Daily (Beijing, PRC) has got the scoop on how the “foreign experts and international friends” entertain themselves:
In spare time, the daily said, many foreigners like to watch the arrangement of traditional houses in city alleys, or enjoy Chinese folk music accompanied by cups of tea.
(For comparison, please refer to “The Three Hundred Percenters” of 1968.)
This commences and concludes our celebrations of the 56th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
