  • 02 JULY 2013 - ANGKOR WAT, SIEM REAP, SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA:  The west side of Angkor Wat is silhouetted by the rising sun. Angkor Wat is the largest temple complex in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Angkor Wat was dedicated to Vishnu. It is the best-preserved temple at the site, and has remained a religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, then Buddhist. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It is a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on the national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. The temple is admired for the architecture, the extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls. The modern name, Angkor Wat, means "Temple City" or "City of Temples" in Khmer; Angkor, meaning "city" or "capital city", is a vernacular form of the word nokor, which comes from the Sanskrit word nagara. Wat is the Khmer word for "temple grounds", derived from the Pali word "vatta." Prior to this time the temple was known as Preah Pisnulok, after the posthumous title of its founder. It is also the name of complex of temples, which includes Bayon and Preah Khan, in the vicinity. It is by far the most visited tourist attraction in Cambodia. More than half of all tourists to Cambodia visit Angkor.         PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 30 APRIL 2013 - MAHACHAI, SAMUT SAKHON, THAILAND:    A Thai fishing trawler returns to port in Mahachai after a fishing trip in the Gulf of Siam. The Thai fishing industry is heavily reliant on Burmese and Cambodian migrants.

  • 12 MARCH 2013 - ALONG HIGHWAY 13, LAOS:  The turn off of Highway 13 to a Chinese hydro power plant. The paving of Highway 13 from Vientiane to near the Chinese border has changed the way of life in rural Laos. Villagers near Luang Prabang used to have to take unreliable boats that took three hours round trip to get from the homes to the tourist center of Luang Prabang, now they take a 40 minute round trip bus ride. North of Luang Prabang, paving the highway has been an opportunity for China to use Laos as a transshipping point. Chinese merchandise now goes through Laos to Thailand where it's put on Thai trains and taken to the deep water port east of Bangkok. The Chinese have also expanded their economic empire into Laos. Chinese hotels and businesses are common in northern Laos and in some cities, like Oudomxay, are now up to 40% percent. As the roads are paved, more people move away from their traditional homes in the mountains of Laos and crowd the side of the road living off tourists' and truck drivers.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 09 DECEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Thai college students gather at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) for an anti-corruption rally. About 1,500 Thai university students from 90 universities across Thailand attended the rally. The latest Corruption Perceptions Index survey by Transparency International listed Thailand at number 88 out of 176 countries surveyed. The level of corruption in Thailand is perceived to be on the same par as Malawi, Swaziland and Zambia. Thailand's ranking slipped from 80 last year. A series of surveys show that Thais increasingly view corruption as acceptable. A recent ABAC (Assumption Business Administration College, the forerunner to Assumption University, one of the most respected private universities in Thailand) poll reported that a majority (63 per cent) of Thai people hold the view that corruption in government is acceptable as long as they also benefit from it. A majority of young people under 20 now hold the same attitude. International Anti-Corruption Day has been observed annually, on the 9th December, since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on 31 October 2003.       PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 09 DECEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   A Thai anti-corruption demonstrator at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). About 1,500 Thai university students from 90 universities across Thailand attended the rally. The latest Corruption Perceptions Index survey by Transparency International listed Thailand at number 88 out of 176 countries surveyed. The level of corruption in Thailand is perceived to be on the same par as Malawi, Swaziland and Zambia. Thailand's ranking slipped from 80 last year. A series of surveys show that Thais increasingly view corruption as acceptable. A recent ABAC (Assumption Business Administration College, the forerunner to Assumption University, one of the most respected private universities in Thailand) poll reported that a majority (63 per cent) of Thai people hold the view that corruption in government is acceptable as long as they also benefit from it. A majority of young people under 20 now hold the same attitude. International Anti-Corruption Day has been observed annually, on the 9th December, since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on 31 October 2003.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 14 JULY 2012 - FT DEFIANCE, AZ:  A man works with a horse during a horsemanship clinic at the 23rd annual Navajo Nation Camp Meeting in Ft. Defiance, north of Window Rock, AZ, on the Navajo reservation. Preachers from across the Navajo Nation, and the western US, come to Navajo Nation Camp Meeting to preach an evangelical form of Christianity. Evangelical Christians make up a growing part of the reservation - there are now more than a hundred camp meetings and tent revivals on the reservation every year. The camp meeting in Ft. Defiance draws nearly 200 people each night of its six day run. Many of the attendees convert to evangelical Christianity from traditional Navajo beliefs, Catholicism or Mormonism. "Camp meetings" are a form of Protestant Christian religious services originating in Britain and once common in rural parts of the United States. People would travel a great distance to a particular site to camp out, listen to itinerant preachers, and pray. This suited the rural life, before cars and highways were common, because rural areas often lacked traditional churches.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The school is next to the main landfill for Mae Sot and serves the children of the people who work in the landfill. The school relies on grants and donations from Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Reforms in Myanmar have alllowed NGOs to operate in Myanmar, as a result many NGOs are shifting resources to operations in Myanmar, leaving Burmese migrants and refugees in Thailand vulnerable. The Sky Blue School was not able to pay its teachers for three months during the current school year because money promised by a NGO wasn't delivered when the NGO started to support schools in Burma. The school got an emergency grant from the Burma Migrant Teachers' Association and has since been able to pay the teachers.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 28 SEPTEMBER 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  An odd-eyed cat, with a yellow eye and a blue eye. An odd eyed cat is a cat with one blue eye and one eye either green, yellow, or brown. This is a feline form of complete heterochromia, a condition that occurs in some other animals. The condition most commonly affects white-colored cats, but may be found in a cat of any color, provided that it possesses the white spotting gene. The odd-eyed coloring is caused when either the epistatic (dominant) white gene (which masks any other color genes and turns a cat completely white) or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolor and tuxedo cats) prevents melanin (pigment) granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat with one blue eye and one green, yellow, or brown eye. The condition only rarely occurs in cats that lack both the dominant white and the white spotting gene.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 14 JANUARY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Thai anti-government protestor at the Pathumwan Intersection near MBK shopping center. Blue is the color of the opposition Thai Democrats party. Tens of thousands of Thai anti-government protestors continued to block the streets of Bangkok Tuesday to shut down the Thai capitol. The protest, "Shutdown Bangkok," is expected to last at least a week. Shutdown Bangkok is organized by People's Democratic Reform Committee (PRDC). It's a continuation of protests that started in early November. There have been shootings almost every night at different protests sites around Bangkok, but so far Shutdown Bangkok has been peaceful. The malls in Bangkok are still open but many other businesses are closed and mass transit is swamped with both protestors and people who had to use mass transit because the roads were blocked.
