PATRICK BROWN
is an award-winning
photographer whose
work has appeared in
Time
,
Newsweek
,
The
New Yorker
and
The New
York Times
. On page
76, he enters one of
the toughest prisons
in Thailand and comes
away with striking
images of inmates
competing in Muay Thai
boxing matches where
the prize is early release.
Thankfully, Brown didn’t
have to throw any
punches to leave.
READY FOR ACTION
AS THE CALENDAR FLIPS
to November,
Hemispheres
is looking forward to breaking
out the winter wear.
Hemi
staffer Sam Polcer gets things started with “Three Perfect
Days: Jackson Hole”—a guide to a Wyoming winter wonderland where dog-sledders,
fly-fishermen and the world’s largest elk herd share a picturesque valley with luxury
hotels, fine restaurants and ski resorts. If that’s not enough winter for you, we polled
everyone in the know, from the Alps to the Rockies, to get the inside scoop on the
world’s best ski spots this season. We’ve
got the snow averse covered as well: Writer
Ma Shaer travels to Thailand and takes us
inside a high-security prison for aMuay Thai
boxing match, where inmates are literally
fighting for their freedom, and novelist Dana
Vachon interviews Malcolm Gladwell, who
discusses what is perhaps the most famous
brawl in history: David vs. Goliath. This issue
is action-packed.
