Playpen
“Playpen” / Bokpyin, Thaninthayi, Myanmar / September 2016: The houses in the island village of Wat Kyune all stood on stilts thus children’s activities are always confined to whatever space they have in their thatch houses, especially during high tide.
The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
This is a great photo
