Here are the first Burmese people digital camera photos from the Mae Sot dumpsite. I did a bunch of these up mostly to give away to the families later, some of the photos were also taken by local people using my digital camera (not sure if any of these are shot by locals, maybe so). When I return, probably sometime in October I will hand out free color and b/w white photos to as many as I can.
Family portrait shot on my last day at the dump, I did 4x5 b/w work of this subject also. |
