A glimpse into the world through the lens of photography.

A man leaves a fishing boat docked at a pier in Si Racha, Thailand, on March 18, 2026. Fishermen in Thailand benefit from tax-exempt diesel, known as "green oil," which cost less than 20 baht ($0.60) per liter before the war broke out in the Middle East on Feb. 28. It now costs 35 baht and is increasingly hard to find with boats of hundreds of fishers stuck at the dock because of surging diesel prices. Chanakarn Laosarakham/AFP via Getty Images
