Travel to Myanmar is one thing, where to go is another. In this trip, I was traveling as a crew of Steve McCurry workshop, naturally, a photography workshop that suppose to focus on places capable of producing the kind of portraiture Steve McCurry is known for, and all the international participants drawn to sign on the trip. It did not turn out disappointed, myself, or for the whole group, are then not the regular tourists, at least not by how each days was ended up. And certainly we are not there for tourist pictures, or commonly known as postcards.
Certainly, it is hard to avoid going to places such as Shwedagon or Mahamuni, which we did go. But we also went to places that are not considered tourist attractions, and turned out that, it is from those places the majority of better works are produced.
Yesterday afternoon we were at the Shwedagon, this morning (February 16), we are at the Yangon Central Railway Station. And it is here, I started to realize that this is Myanmar.
This image is a rather common scene at the Yangon Central Railway Station - waiting.
