Three in a row, By: Emma Kwee

‘Transport transport’? This will sound familiar to anybody who has ever set foot on Bali. Drivers renting their minivans or jeeps and themselves out to bring you wherever you want to go…Smiling from ear to ear, mimicking a steering wheel with both of their hands…’Transport Transport Mister?’

Transportation is the theme of this photo contest. You can interpret it as widely or narrowly as you want to. It could be vehicles in various states of disrepair, people propped up in a van, animals used as means of transportation or being transported. Funny or sad..standing still in traffic or racing along…it’s up to you!

The Latitudes.nu Photo Contest Low Down

Some rules: Photos must be your own work and copyright free. Images need to have something to do with Southeast Asia. You can submit an unlimited amount of pictures. Latitudes.nu holds the right to use photos in future publications.
