Images of Myanmar - 06


Lake Taungthaman, MANDALAY.

This lake is actually connected to the great Ayeyarwady river.

*Please observe the details in the background to appreciate this image. It was a bit hazy....

I was browsing through a shop where they make puppets, sculptures and tapestries. There were holes on the roof of the shop which allow ray of light to escape and beamed on to the carving / sculpture above. It's like, the "light from above".

I spent almost 30 minutes and scores of shots to get these shots.

I was walking down town Mandalay, early in the morning when the young monks walking around collecting food from generous buddists in the neighbourhood.

The monks only eat twice a day, but they can drink anytime they want.

Inspiried by crewcut75's hari raya posting of children faces, I decided to emulate his theme.

Part of an old monastery, made of teak wood. Each pillars were made of one whole teak tree. I shot this on the way out, the image is carved on the door. Simply stunning!

My First Collage



The first few shots I took as soon as I reached home with my newly acquired 50mm. I was driving like a maniac, couldn't wait to test the new lense. It's worth it!

I hope I have enough money to get a macro lense, soon....

HAPPY NEW YEAR


*Underneath Siam BTS station, Bangkok


I know it's a bit too late but I have been extremely busy travelling (work) and my personal projects.

Besides, I am still figuring out how to post my pics using my I-Mac as the interface seems to be quite different.

I was in Myanmar for a week and 2 weeks in Bangkok and both destinations were great. I took tons of pictures, hopefully can be uploaded into choratchoret soon.

2007 is going to be great. I look forward to achieve several milestones that I have been working on since last year and the progress has been promising.

There will be major changes in the organization I am working in, but I am taking it positively. In fact, I will be at a crossroad soon and major decision will be made to really know which professional path should I choose from then on.

Yes, it is going to be an exciting year.

I wish all my friends a great 2007.

Yes, I will post those pictures and stories soon.....
