Songkran Lunar New Year Parade, Banrai, Uthaitani Province
"My city friends are mostly consumers of culture, not creators, buying their way into an opera or museum just as they buy their groceries. Because the human net is spread so thin in the countryside, you realize you must help make and sustain it. Whatever happens in the back roads and in small towns - carnivals and spelling bees, parades and horse races, bluegrass concerts, open air theatricals - happens because people you know, or you yourself, make it happen. It is do-it-yourself culture, homely to be sure, but heartfelt and sprung from local talent."
