EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stuart Black/Robert Harding captures the essence of traditional farming in Myanmar's Shan State. The image showcases a picturesque scene of a water buffalo ploughing terraced rice fields near Kengtung, immersing viewers into the rich agricultural heritage of this region. In this full-length shot, a male farmer guides the majestic water buffalo with expertise and precision. The tradition of using these working animals for cultivation has been passed down through generations, symbolizing the deep connection between humans and nature in rural Myanmar. The vibrant colors of the cultivated fields reflect the growth and abundance that come from dedicated labor. Against this backdrop, an adult female farmer can be seen diligently tending to her crops, embodying the tireless efforts required for successful agriculture. From above, we gain a high-angle view that allows us to appreciate both the scale and beauty of these terraced fields. This elevated perspective also highlights how two people and one animal work harmoniously together to sustain their livelihoods. As we explore this travel destination through photography, it becomes evident that traditional culture thrives here. The image encapsulates not only the hard work involved but also celebrates Myanmar's cultural identity rooted in its agricultural practices. Stuart Black/Robert Harding's photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and pays homage to those who continue to uphold age-old traditions amidst modernization.
