Broadway, New York City Cutting a swath of lights from the tip of Manhattan, Broadway beckons to the star struck like a blazing theater marquee—as it has for decades. The Broadway of the 1980s, captured in these photographs, included a sometimes seedy side. The steamy diversions on Broadway’s Times Square area provoke bored yawns from native Manhattanites who have seen it all. —From "Broadway, Street of Dreams," September 1990, National Geographic magazine Photograph by Jodi Cobb 意译：主标题：――百老汇――纽约市。 在曼哈顿的高楼上射出一道道光束，百老汇召唤明星的到来，当年百老汇像一个闪耀的剧院大篷车――又经历十年，到1980年摄影许多的图片，不时拿来观赏。 当我们转移到时代广场，见到那些人：有激怒的、挑拨的、无聊的、打呵欠的都是一些曼哈顿的本地人，他们已经见过一切。

Henna Hand, New Delhi, India, 1996 A woman applies a delicate grid of henna paste to a celebrant's hand already painted with lacy paisleys. Henna comes from the leaves of a shrub, Lawsonia inermis, that have been dried, ground to a powder, and mixed with water. The dye, which fades from the skin after a few days or weeks, is as popular today . 意译：主标题：手指甲花染料，新德里，印度，1996年。 一位妇女申请应用一种精巧的格子关于指甲花染料的粘贴到神父的手已经描画并伴随花边的佩斯利螺旋花纹细毛披巾。指甲花染料来自一种灌木丛，当灌木丛已经干枯后，在地面上变成一种粉末，再用水混合。这些染料在一些日子后在皮肤上退色，这是当今流行的风俗。

Waikiki Beach Luau, Hawaii, 2005 Photograph by Susan Seubert Suntanned patrons at the patio bar of Halekulani Hotel’s House Without a Key restaurant enjoy stunning sunset views and a hula show on Oahu Island’s Waikiki Beach. The swaying hips and undulating arm movements of a hula dancer imitate the waves that wash over Hawaii’s shores. Hula went underground for about 60 years in the early 19th century after Christian missionaries persuaded rulers to ban the provocative dance. It is enjoying a resurgence today.
