For thousands of years the people of the Chinese province of Yunnan have been cultivating mountain tops, building ridges and diverting water to build their rice fields. The sight of the Yunnan fields, so reminiscent of Japan, often brings up feelings of nostalgia and admiration for the unimaginable toil and magnificence of this land's pioneers. Since first laying eyes on these terraced fields in 93, I've travelled across Japan and Asia immortalizing their beauty and their people. Please enjoy these photographs taken in Egypt, China, Indonesia and in Japan.
