The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."

OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.

I met two ladies dressed in turqouse and they allowed my to take a picture. But they were a little nervous that I talked to them and I believe one of them blushed :)
So I had only one chance - and missed it. I tried to make the best out of it with this b&w picture as a result...
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.
