Myanmar was blocking my blog posts while we were there. So, as in may previous post, I am in the process of catching up on each day’s images and a few words to go along. There still seems to be some question as to whether or not, Asia is able to see this blog. So I welcome comments from folks who are in countries from the Philippines and westward. In other words, if you are in the Philippines or in any Asian country to the west of there, and you can see this post, please drop me a comment to confirm that you can see it. Thanks!
While waiting for the group to gather, I noticed a young man wearing the traditional Burmese Longhi and we all began phototgraphing…
Lots of interesting options and some really wonderful, soft, directional lighting, made for some nice images.
Our next stop was a lacquer ware production shop. Again, the photo opportunities were many. Focusing in on the workers hands and even their feet is a way to visually emphasize the delicate and precise work that is necessary to create beautiful lacquer products.
