Currents of Time
A river can be timeless, but on no two days will its flowing course ever truly be the same.
So it goes on the mighty Mekong. For thousands of years, this river has wound its way through much of Asia, shaping the land and lives of the people that inhabit its enormous basins. But for all the millennia of change in the Mekong’s waters and along its banks, maybe no time has produced such a rapid transformation for the river as the past few decades.
Michael Yamashita has witnessed much of that first-hand – documenting it through the lens of a camera.
