EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mel Longhurst, we are transported to the rural landscapes of Kyaukpadaung, near Bagan in Myanmar. The image showcases a hardworking farmer and his ox engaged in the age-old tradition of making peanut oil. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of agricultural life in Asia, with its rich cultural heritage and strong ties to the land. The farmer, wearing a traditional sarong known as a longyi, walks alongside his powerful oxen as they tirelessly turn the millstone for hours on end. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that farming is not just an occupation but a way of life for these villagers. Despite their monotonous and tedious toil, there is an unmistakable sense of pride and resilience etched on their faces. This image serves as a reminder of the stark realities faced by many people living in rural areas where poverty persists. Yet amidst these challenges, there is also beauty to be found - from the vibrant green fields stretching into the distance to the primitive yet effective methods employed in oil production. Mel Longhurst's skillful composition allows us to witness firsthand both the physical labor involved and the deep connection between humans and animals within this ancient trade. It invites us to appreciate not only our own travels but also those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to sustain our world's diverse cultures and traditions.
