I took my camera to Burma in March, 2009. The oppression is thick. You can feel it and you can see it. The government is building a new capital and spending millions of dollars on creating a luxury land for themselves while people continue to live in poverty.

And it never ceases to amaze me how people can continue to go there as tourists and not open their eyes to the oppression and corruption. If you travel in Burma, travel with a social conscience and when you come home, do what you can to help.

How can we just stand by and let the military junta of Burma continue to do what they do ?
