I’ve added a bunch of my favourite Hong Kong and Myanmar photos to Flickr! Take a look over here, or click on any of the photos to be taken to my gallery.
Both places were unbelievably beautiful to photograph, and after months of flat grey Montréal winter I was in ecstasies of colour and perfect light. Landing in Myanmar, I felt I had wakened into a vivid fever dream of gilded stupas and shocking bougainvillaeas. At the same time, I found Myanmar intensely challenging to photograph. Not for a lack of subjects, but for the moral dilemma it presented. For the first time my DSLR felt like an imposition, a visual wood-chipper to reduce this sprawling culture into bite-sized pieces that my Westernized brain could process.
