In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest,there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly,these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs.And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946.In theory,they should live by the French law.However,their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown,thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.
The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area,which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest,with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital,Cayenne.
“I have a special love for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin.“I've been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I don't see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”
“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white,which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”
His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.

Compared with some other parts of the world,Canada is not a country with a lot of particularly flashy traditions—which isn't to say none exist.In general,it's the aging process,and the various “key dates” that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized(仪式化的) moments in mainstream Canadian culture.
Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they're aware,and it's common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower—a small,light-hearted house party—to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth.Shortly after the child is born,it's similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift,usually a toy or clothes,to express congratulations.
If there's one thing Canadians love celebrating,it's the anniversary(周年纪念日) of their own birth.In recent years,birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition-rich spectacles of Canadian culture.During childhood,most parents will arrange birthday parties for their children on the special day (or the closest available weekend),a fun excuse for the birthday boy or girl to gather up all their schoolyard friends and spend the afternoon hanging out.In their teenage years and adulthood,they begin to take greater control over their own birthday plans.
Completing a period of school in Canada is almost always celebrated with a fancy graduation ceremony.In their final year of high school (and sometimes middle school as well),students will celebrate the completion of their studies with some sort of party organized by the school,usually known as “grad night”.These usually take the form of a fancy dress party held at a local hotel,complete with a dinner,dancing and lots of awkwardly-posed photographs.
