Looking Back at the First Un-Tour to Myanmar
Looking Back at the First Un-Tour to Myanmar

Five years in the making.  One year of planning.  13 days of stories and adventures on one remarkable journey.

I call it Myanmar Magic... these opportunities that just happen to come your way if you don't try too hard and you're open to them.  For years, this has been the Myanmar that I've known while working on "This Myanmar Life."

It was for this reason that I decided to create the Un-Tour to Myanmar: to share this culture, these stories, and the people who I have met along the way.

Below is a small selection of what we experienced together, and a few snippets I published along the way.

Presenting "This Myanmar Life"
Presenting "This Myanmar Life"

Nearly five years ago, I took my first trip to Myanmar (Burma).  Before I stepped across that border that very first time, there would have been no way for me to know that I would be traveling back more than a dozen times through the beginning of 2016, and spending more than a year in the country documenting the changes in Myanmar through the stories of the citizens.

Today marks the opening of my debut photography exhibition which melds stories with images called "This Myanmar Life" in Saskatoon, Sk Canada.  It's a unique project that flows into the online world with additional stories to follow, as well as more information about the project.
