This image is a study in double incongruity. I photographed these people, complete strangers to each other, as they waited for a bus within a city bus stop shelter. The shelter displays an advertisement for a local cellular service provider. It features a pair of growling costumed characters standing upon the screen of a large cell phone painted along the bottom of the advertisement. I moved my vantage point to place those characters on either side of the woman seated on the right. She is also costumed, wearing an illustrated blouse. Painted on her her face are two large yellowish circles, a cosmetic paste made from ground bark called Thanaka. It is intended both as decoration and protection from the Burmese sun. The man seated next to her wears a long skirt. Both Thanaka and long men’s skirts are Burmese cultural staples, but when viewed by foreigners, they seem strange and certainly incongruous. Neither person reacts to each other or to those incongruities, but we, as outsiders, can appreciate the humor here. By placing such incongruities into what is already an incongruous setting, I’ve created an image that stimulates the imagination by simultaneously contrasting a set of both cultural and commercial incongruities
