7. PHOTOGRAPHY: TRAVELS MYANMAR - 2011 travel by Dr David Sing


Travel photos were taken with Canon EOS 80D. Not very sharp as my skills in 2011 were limited to the using of "P" Mode.  I had not gone into the details of using Aperture Priority (AV Mode) or Shutter Priority (TV Mode) or Manual Mode.

It takes many years till 2022 to get a better camera and to use AV or TV or Manual Modes. Younger people may take a shorter time if they are interested in technology.

The police concluded that he could be a 'hungry homeless man' who had duplicate keys or picked the lock to open the coach door.  A sunny morning.  The ladies looked forward to spending a day at the Factory Outlet.

The 'Ah Ha' moment is a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension . The thief had broken into the coach via the safety vent!  With the fresh air swirling into the coach's roof top vent,

 In his sixties, his first name is Wyatt but I don't know his last.  He looks like a sheriff in his khaki uniform with brown pocket flaps, walking up the concrete ramp leading inside the morgue, pressing a button on the cinder block wall. The massive door begins rolling down in the swirling exhaust of the hearse driving out, probably the suicide from Fairfax County, based on bodies scheduled for release. ------------------------- "He needs you to meet him somewhere." My secretary acts as if I answer to her instead of the other way around.  Dressed in her typical couture of a tweedy skirt suit and loafers, her steely gray hair styled like the 1950s, Maggie Cutbush eyes me disapprovingly over the wire-rim glasses perched on the tip of her sharp nose.      "He needs to meet me for what reason---"  I start to say.      "He'll explain," she interrupts.
