Into light and shadow


It is only the 3rd day in Myanmar traveling with Steve McCurry, in Mandalay, each one of the travelers already accumulated large amount of captures, and would add a lot more going forward.  I spent most of the time with Steve McCurry, also to assist him, and have the opportunity to observe the master while the master observe his subject.

The biggest lesson I learned from Steve McCurry is the persistency and the level of enthusiasm he put into each image, not just each image, but EACH CAPTURE!
For example, we spotted this old lady at the temple, rather than fire away some snapshots, we slowly observing her, study her and follow her, and follow her home, all but just want to capture an image that is her.  This one is among the many hundreds I made on her, position myself and waited her to walk into the light.
