Cow in Nong Khiaw Laos

“During a wander along a dusty road near Nong Khiaw, Laos, with the occasional small village and hut popping up on either side, we came across a few boys peering over the edge of a small bridge overpass. We looked down as well and saw a makeshift butcher shop for the local villagers with a large plastic sheet, metal bowls filled with drained blood, an old scale, and an assembly line of three or four people chopping and splitting up the meat of what looked to have been a cow.

Moments like this — glimpses into other ways of living and doing things — are what drive me to see and learn as much about the world as I can. At the same time, stumbling upon random scenes of everyday life also make me realize the many ways we’re all the same, no matter whether you’re in a remote village in Northern Laos or at a specialty butcher shop in the Italian market of Philadelphia.”
