NTM photos - Ayun Halliday

Somewhere in Southern Europe: Locked out of the hostel at lunchtime with everything in the laundry but my blue gauze skirt, a frequent stunt-double for a towel.

Munich: Geisterschluch

t
Amsterdam: Would you risk the integrity of your earlobes and possibly, your life, for this crummy shot?

Tanzania: I wore this fetching German hat almost as much as my seatmate wore her Jambo t-shirt.

Rwanda: The welcoming committee

Kenya: One of our last days on the truck. Can you see Arnold and Deborah hating us from within?

Tiomann Island, Malaysia: Nothing bad happened in this picture, unless you count the crime against personal fashion.

Villandry en route to Paris: Speaking of fashion crimes, would you let these women view your Spring Collection, even if one did have a valid press pass?

Bukittinggi, Sumatra: Yeah, I know it’s out of focus, but how many photos do you pose for when your dislocated knee is the size of a grapefruit?

Wat Khow Krailat, Thailand: Kosiya

The Beach near Wat Khow Krailat: What construction worker wouldn’t love for their family’s corrugated metal dorm to be almost in the shade of the sign featuring the luxury oceanfront condos they’re working so hard to build?

Vietnam: It broke my heart the day the arms rotted off the pneumatic plastic drummer monkey Greg bought for a few dong. His drumsticks were nails and he really drummed.

Pushkar, India: Doggiepants and his oppressors, viewed from our rooftop digs atop the Brahmaputra guesthouse.

Jaisalmer, India: Oh excuse me,
Mr. Lawrence of Arabia.

U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, Aspen, Colorado: Diana and I flashing our artist passes in hopes that someone will shoot us some more swag.

Sibiu, Romania: Look how foxy we were before we starting having those babies…Look at the sideburns!

Glasgow, Scotland: Yeah, wish I had a big woman to haul me around the cobble-stoned streets. Please note that this photo was taken in JULY.
