On a spontaneous weekend trip to visit an old traveling buddy, Travis hopped a small plane for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Upon arrival to the mostly Muslim city, he happened upon a Hindu parade which had taken over the streets to celebrate the Gods: Kali and Shiva. Men were dancing with hooks wedged into the skin of their backs. Other men had long metal poles piercing their cheek flesh and dripping blood. Women danced around with their eyes rolled back in their head and their tongues hanging out. One man in his 60’s, who was diapered like a baby, sucked on his pacifier and waved to all the street people from his seat on the parade float. We’re not sure how Travis always finds himself in a photographer’s paradise weekend after weekend. But we do know that he was able to capture some incredible images of possessed Hindus that will make your skin crawl.
