MYANMAR'S FREIGHTERS

During five journeys, my family and I travelled in Myanmar. We took freighters on Irrawaddy two time from Bhamo to Pyay and to Mraw U from Sitwee. And finally after Nargis cyclone from Yangon to Laputta, city situated in Irrawaddy's delta. We collected lot of photos of boats life and at embankment. I realised a book. His name is “Au fil de l'Irrawaddy”. You can flick through it from Internet : http://fr.blurb.com/books/1756535

Ainsi va la vie sur ce grand fleuve... Bien plus qu'une galerie de remarquables photos de voyages, un véritable document. Des bateaux, des gens, des marchandises... et l'eau. C'est très coloré et ça grouille de vie et d'activités. A l'évidence, c'est bien la population, si courageuse et si accueillante, qui est au centre de tout cela. Et dans ces belles images, le sens du contact humain et le savoir faire photographique de chalourty transparaissent pleinement. Une superbe galerie, et un livre d'exception, aussi. BV.
