El Acordeonista

In the ancient streets of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, music is everywhere. This man was laying down a somber tune on his old accordion as the Caribbean sun sank and the evening cooled off.

Princess Sita

A Balinese dancer performs as Princess Sita, one of the main characters of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana, during the sunset fire dance at Uluwatu Temple. Floating through the stage over a circle of kecak dancers chanting in a trance-like state, she weaves a timeless tale of good versus evil. This cultural spectacle was truly one of the most special moments of my trip to Indonesia.
