Is this shot the first shot on the roll? Just wondering why its dark down the left side. Hopefully not a shutter problem!

Hey Jon, I will be back for sure. It might be the first shot but I don't think so. I shot about 20 rolls after that photo and I haven't seen a problem in any of the rolls.

I think the light was just strange when I shot that.

Hey Michael. As always I love your pics. The ones of the drowned dogs I find really upsetting as I love dogs (and all animals) and have a bunch with me at home. Do you know the story there? Both seem to have something tied to their back legs like something deliberate was done..
I kinda don't want to look at them again, to see further. Not judging your fantastic work at all, just I get upset when I see the subject of abuse. I think some backstory to them would help.
Respectfully.

Hello Huss, thanks for the message. I asked the locals about the dead dogs and they told me that sometimes at night the dogs would walk into the ocean and drown, but when I pointed out that some of the dogs have had their legs tied up, they just looked at me and didn't respond. I also pointed out that one of the dog's head was caved in and it looked like it got hit by a round blunt object. Nearby the dog was a big coconut but once again, no reply.

I visited this village a couple of times over a couple of days and every time I saw a dead dog, I got sad and bummed out. If I were to describe this fishing village in one word, I would say it was "raw". It seemed to me that life there is very rough for the locals and it is in an area that is very underdeveloped.

Here are some photos from Bin Le Wa, I am not sure if my photos can reflect how raw the place actually felt to me.

wow Michael, your photos are extremely valuable...You should definitely make use of them.

I think you should also have a site with all your photos ordered by location and time?

I also admire the quality of light you catch all the time. It looks you take your photos at the same time of the day no matter what the weather is 🙂 And you use film.
 
Drowned dogs. Its harsh, but people like to pet local dogs and give them food leftovers. This leads to lot new puppies, that someone has to get rid of, otherwise there's even more dogs on streets. Its quite common in all Southeast Asia where climate is gentle, not only in Myanmar.

You are right jarski, it is quite common to see dogs on the streets in S.E. Asia. I have been attacked and bitten a couple of times, chased on my motorbike while dogs are snapping at me and I was once surrounded by a pack of dogs in a small village in the countryside. They can be a problem sometimes.

When in doubt, cash works. I watched this lady with a fat stack of bills hand them out in the early morning.
