Home Grown Blueberries
I visited Banner Elk, North Carolina this weekend and spent a morning enjoying the lovely mountain weather while picking blueberries. Rolling around inside my two gallon picking bucket, the range of blue and purple colors looked too delicious not to tempt continuous taste testing. The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Chinese School Children 中国学生

Migrant children pay less than $3 per month to attend this school in China. Public education is not free in China, meaning that opportunities for study are few and far between for the children of migrants who have relocated to large cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. Although these cities offer their parents job opportunities, living conditions and wages are still very poor.
*RASHPHOTO will soon have limited posters for sale, which will benefit this school in Beijing, China. Please come back for your chance to own a limited print and contribute to the education of the children you see here.*
Chinese Make Up Portraits: Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong
Each year in Hong Kong's Cheung Chau Island, a traditional festival draws over 50,000 attendees. Known as "the Bun Festival", this event concludes at midnight with local men and women scrambling to climb to the top of a 50 foot tall tower constructed of edible Chinese buns. Other festival activities include a parade full of street performers, musicians, dancers, and costumes.

Twins in Metal: GIANT
Zach and Isaac are brothers who have spent the past few years creating heavy, atmospheric, down-tempo metal in their band GIANT. I recently had a chance to see GIANT perform at the Green Bean, a tiny crowded coffee house in Greensboro, North Carolina, which was a very unlikely venue for a show of such mammoth sound. The crowd, however, seemed to appreciate the intimacy of the space and the night went without incident. Obviously, there is a full band behind this outfit, but I wanted to feature a shot of each brother here, each wielding their own instrument of audible destruction. Zach is behind the drums and Isaac is on guitar, just in case you were confused.
