Myanmar People

20 November 2018

The first photo in my view has little photographic merit compared to others chosen for the website. I could be criticized for having the pole going through the man’s head. And the lighting itself is pleasant late afternoon sun but nothing dramatic- photography is all about light….

So why is it here and at the number one slot.

Well,  because its my website and  I can do anything I like! But actually I like the shot. There is something symbolic to me that represents my feeling about the country and the people.

Myanmar is a beautiful country. The people are amongst the friendliness I have met and also very genuine. Right now it is still not very commercialised compared to other asian countries but it is changing rapidly. That is why I am planning to return in 2019. Yes there is a problem with the present Government, lack of democracy  and the treatment of the Rohingya people. But the people we met were just trying to make a living with no say on the  countrys future, let alone their own future. What I did observe in the areas I visited was the enormous respect people have for one another. There is this politeness and kindness to strangers. This is partly because the Burmese strongly believe in karma. Treat others well and good will come to you.

This is why the first photo appeals to me. It has a symbolic meaning to what I want for the people. Standing tall, all in the same boat and hope is shining through.

I’m finishing off my Burmese Blog with lots of smiles as that is my final impression of the lovely people we have met. Jay zu and thwa`me naw  (thankyou and goodbye).
