MY STORY photo project 4/ Borderline Gallery: April 2009
http://msppaexhibit2009.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 16, 2009. Tegan holds the ladder. Needs to be lower.how much lower.just a hair lower. All work and no play. 58 images to hang from three workshops: Mandalay, Nu Poe Camp, and last year's Help without Frontiers session that took place after the 2008 exhibition was up. Once again Nat proved impervious to sauna-like temperatures, the fastidiousness of tying fish line knots at heights of 12 feet, and many people telling him what to do! Another opening, another show. Ton, Susan, Joan, and Nat.

Thursday, April 16, 2009. Another opening, another show. Bo Bo had the gallery sparkling, the fresh spring rolls were gobbled up in a flash as was the huge tray of watermelon, pineapple and papaya. Old friends, new friends, students, former students, future students all oohed and aahed appropriately. It was worth every drop of sweat! Saw Eh Shoe ( teacher trainee ) brought his students to the opening. Joan with former student Heller and friend. Ton, Susan, Joan, and Nat. Nat, Tegan, and Isla.

http://msppamandalay.blogspot.com/2009/03/on-road-to-mandalay.html
On the road to Mandalay february / 2009. Mandalay / Chapter 1. Friday, March 6, 2009. On the road to Mandalay. On the night bus to Bangkok from Mae Sot. Yes, it is arctic on those buses. Our friend 'Gordon Bleu' at Bangkok mall. We arrived in Rangoon on February 12 and were whisked to the 'Guest Care Hotel', recommended by our friend Cate. It is close to the Savoy Hotel that has a pool, padded deck chaises, fast internet that works, and a very welcoming staff. All this for the price of a drink!

On the road to Mandalay february / 2009: On Mandalay Hill
http://msppamandalay.blogspot.com/2009/03/on-mandalay-hill.html
On the road to Mandalay february / 2009. Mandalay / Chapter 1. Friday, March 6, 2009. The temple on Mandalay Hill is supposedly visible from all over the city. That is if it's a clear day. There are 1700 steps to the top and lots of stone benches to rest on. Also lots of souvenir shops. The steps are covered which cuts down on sunstroke and there are several pavilions with altars. Elevator seems to be closed. Shopping on the temple steps:. View from almost the top. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://msppamandalay.blogspot.com/2009/03/roads-in-mandalay.html
On the road to Mandalay february / 2009. Mandalay / Chapter 1. Friday, March 6, 2009. 1942 Plymouth that took us to three ancient Burmese capitals in one day. Kyo Kyo driver of the venerable and shock-less Ply-Mouth. Bus in front of our guest house. The 'conductor' hangs off the back (open air) and hollers the destination. Usually crammed with people, I beams of steel, baskets, monks, monks, monks. Mandalay has the greatest population of monks in the country. Why is it deserted? On the road to Mandalay.

On the road to Mandalay february / 2009: Life in Mandalay
http://msppamandalay.blogspot.com/2009/03/life-in-mandalay.html
On the road to Mandalay february / 2009. Mandalay / Chapter 1. Friday, March 6, 2009. Mandalay Palace is in the northwestern part of the city; mostly reconstructed, it is the home of the Tatmadaw (army), and surrounded by a moat on four sides. Each side is about 2 kms. long. People use the moat sidewalk to do calisthenics, jog, or play chess with giant wooden game pieces that seem to be trucked in and out each day. These last two photos are by Kyaw Win, one of the MSppa students. Did I mention the dust?
