14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Burmese Friend

I have visited Myanmar three times. Each time I go to a village near Bagan. Each time I visit this lady and her family. My last visit I arrived in the evening. My friend was cooking on an open fire on the floor in a dark room. The sun was starting to set and there was light coming in a west window. I asked her to stand and lean back into the light.
