A friend in Burma, Kyin Khine, died the night before last from the Covid 19 virus. He was a robust man of 67 years. He died way too young, unnecessarily, through no fault of his own. The Military Government that staged the coup d'état last February has intentionally allowed the virus to run rampant through the country in hopes that it would eliminate a large portion of its opposition. Kying Khine was a cheerful, generous man, well loved by his siblings, nephews, nieces and cousins, who cared for him up until his untimely end. Here are a few photographs I made of him when we traveled together seven years ago. I'm sorry I will never have the chance to travel with him again.
