New Photo Series: Ghosts of Myanmar
I’m excited to share my latest photo series – Ghosts of Myanmar.
Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) has a rich, sad and spectacular history filled with art, conquest, war, reverence and resilience. Throughout my travel there I found people who were immensely proud of their country, and are excited about its future. They also have a deep connection to the past, most visibly through the thousands of temples in every part of the country.
Many temples are still the center of village or city life, while others are ghostly decaying reminders of the past. These ghosts have been witness to countless prayers, wars and natural disasters, yet still retain their beauty and majesty.
This series is an attempt to capture that decaying beauty.

Mark, these are wonderful. Very ethereal, like the memory of a forgotten place in another time. How do some of your images have an almost negative feel though, e.g. 9 of 12? Post processing or the film?
Thanks Charlene. I don’t do post-processing, other than slight crop and adjusting the brightness for the web. It’s all in the method (which includes the film)
so nice .pic
where?
Thank you Thu Thu!
The photo in the post here was in Mrauk U, near one of the old city gates.
And if you mean where are the photos in the whole series, they’re from where you sent me! Mainly from Bagan and Mrauk U.
Amazing and soulful is what comes to mind when looking at this set. Just breath taking, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Melissa!
