    Song Khran
    Song Khran
    Many times you would think the Song Khran festival is all about spraying each other with bucketloads of water. Behind the scenes rooted a rich tradition that is still practiced to this day by the young and old where mass feeding of the Buddhist temple monks are carried out prior to the festivities. Bangkok, Thailand, 2000. © Evan Hwong Photographs
    Jubilating Glee

    Kolkata's Pohela Boishakh festival has seen much change through the tides. Unlike other parts of India where the Bengali New Year is celebrated in April, Kolkata's month-long festivities are used as the most favorable period for marriages. India, 2004. © Evan Hwong Photographs

    Not sure if he's really jamming because he's that good at not seeing what he's doing, or his guitar is unplugged. Rockstar vanity personified. Fete de la Musique, London, 2005. © Evan Hwong Photographs
    The Shattering
    The Shattering
    One of my proudest moment on film and a few other awards along with it. Taken at a backlane in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, you can still see the old man's handful of seeds, his cigarette dangling in his mouth, and the frozen motion of all the birds in mid-flight. 1999. © Evan Hwong Photographs

    B Boys
    B-boy dance mixing Hip hop taking South Korea by storm even before K-pop in the late 90s. The dance routine seemed American but actually originated from Seoul. 2003. © Evan Hwong Photographs
