Ritual Reflections

Inle Lake women, from Myanmar's Intha community, dry handwoven clothes on racks in the lake. The racks are a practical solution for communities who live in "floating villages" perched on stilts over the shallow waters of the lake.

About Artist

Barry Crosthwaite

My passion for photography and travel began in childhood, inspired by National Geographic. In university, with my first proper camera and B&W film, this interest grew. After a year traveling in Europe and North Africa with Kodachrome, I chose a career in business and finance over art school. Fortunately, my finance career allowed me to travel and continue developing my photography. Since retiring in 2021, I’ve focused on exploring the other side of my mind, inspired by light, color, and the world’s diversity.
