    Bhutanese Mourning Ceremony
    The grandfather of deceased Prem Thapa, 17, of Erie, Pa., stands in Prem's bedroom on Aug. 4, 2014. Prem's body was found floating in the waters of Presque Isle Bay in Erie on July 26. The Thapa family, who are Bhutanese refugees living in Pennsylvania, held a traditional 13 day mourning ceremony in Prem's bedroom to prepare Prem for the afterlife. The men in the family who lead the ritual are only allowed to wear white clothing during the 13 day period. This image was made using the iPhone app Hipstamatic.

    Detached
    Multi-instrumentalist and music producer, Connor Bush, lounges on a bed in an empty house wearing a traditional Japanese Kabuki mask in Newport Beach, Calif., Saturday afternoon, Jan. 25, 2014. Music helped Bush get through the toughest of times in his childhood. He uses many different instruments to make music of the future in hopes to give back to those in need of solace. Bush conceals his identity because he believes in creating this music for the experience and not the recognition.
