Tory Island, Ireland – Images by Guido Van Damme

]]> http://razorpix.co.uk/blog/2009/09/tory-island-revisited/feed/ 0 Tory Island http://razorpix.co.uk/blog/2009/09/tory-island/ http://razorpix.co.uk/blog/2009/09/tory-island/#comments Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:31:32 +0000 admin http://razorpix.co.uk/blog/?p=393 Ten years ago I spend a few days on Tory Island, a small island north of county Donegal, Ireland. Tory Island is a remote island with two villages, East town and West Town, and has about 250 inhabitants. Staying on this island was an experience that kept intriguing me, although I never had the chance to go back… After my divorce I couldn’t find the negatives from my trip anymore, I considered them lost forever. Until today! I found the negs on the bottom of a box full of stuff I wanted to throw out. Happy me! I started scanning immediately!
Here is a preview of the series, more to come!

I came across this beheaded Buddha statue on a shrine build in a huge tree during a trekking on the Shan Plateau. To me, this picture became very symbolic. Myanmar leaves a very dubious impression to many visitors. It is a very religious country, its people practice what should be the most peaceful religion on the planet, yet its government oppresses the people with an iron fist…
Buddha beheaded.

It was a relatively cool, slightly foggy dawn and everyday life in Bago started to come alive in front of my eyes. People and pigeons… Motorcycles and trucks…
