Here are a few people images from Myanmar. These two sets show the age contrast of the people there. The first two were captured at the same monastery near Yaungshwe. I wandered off to the side of the main monastery. I saw a fairly small pray room and there were local women there. When they say me alone, they waved me in and I sat there for a while. At the front of the pray room was this old monk. He sat there but didn\'t say much. I asked in sign language whether it would be OK for me to take pictures of the old monk. I basically pointed at my camera and gestured toward the old monk. They all nodded and I scooted forward but kept my distance from the monk and took a few shots. As it turned out he actually sleeps in that room behind the curtain. Afterwards, I bowed to him, saying thank you and moved on. I couldn\'t figure out and didn\'t manage to ask how old he was... In contrast, the two novice monks were full of life and were conversing at the window of the main monastery.
The last two images were captured at the same market near Inle Lake. As it turns out, quite a few older ladies smoke cigars or cigarillos in Myanmar. Not passing any judgement, but they sure can be photogenic in a unique way. This lady is one of them out of 4-5 that saw smoke profusely. The young lady is a vendor but I don\'t recall what she was selling though . Yes, she is pretty even without any makeup, mind you.
