EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Manan VATSYAYANA from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the vibrant spirit of Laos-Festival-New Year come to life. The image showcases a young girl joyfully participating in a parade during the new year celebrations in Luang Prabang on April 15,2019. With an umbrella held high above her head, she adds a splash of color and playfulness to the procession. The photograph encapsulates the essence of this offbeat festival, where tradition meets modernity. As she walks amidst the crowd, her beaming smile reflects the excitement and anticipation that fills the air during this auspicious time of year. The girl's traditional attire beautifully contrasts with her contemporary accessory – an umbrella – which serves both as protection from sun rays and as a whimsical prop. Luang Prabang's streets are adorned with decorations and filled with music, laughter, and exuberant energy during these festivities. This topshot captures just one moment among countless others that make up this enchanting celebration. Through his lens, Manan VATSYAYANA manages to transport us into this lively scene where culture thrives alongside innovation. His skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in every detail: from intricate costumes to animated expressions on people's faces. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage celebrated in Laos-Festival-New Year. It reminds us of our shared humanity and our capacity for joy
