An autodidact, he camping with a group of 200 persons who tried to transcend a line for almost a whole weekend while taking pictures of their unfortunate situation.

Finals were chosen from 82,951 photographs by 5,775 contributors from 128 different nationalities.

Young women between the ages of 7 and 11 are selected as "Maya" and should spend a few silent, serious and peaceful moments sitting in an alter on the road adorned with flower and plant decorations, after which they go to school with their families and take part in a wedding celebration. No more than four or five maidens are selected as Maya each year.
