Sonny Nyein took one third position as a photographer, then he pressed dark at the another side of the hut for balance being also an artist. Their lives are also into dark.
Once, we were in the jungle with cameras and waiting for light till we want to. When the villagers saw us, they were very scare at camera and strangers not knowing who we are. Then, head of the village came and gave a guarantee for us. He explained them that we are artists, and then we were very close and got friendship with them," said Sonny Nyein.

Famous, and ancient capital and pagodas land is located in the midst of the Burma, so photographer caught it with dusty waves, and cows. They are the symbols of the Midst Burma's hot and dry climate.
Sonny Nyein put one part of the world in his photo. Audiences can feel cloud is bringing them up to the mountain arranges through seems the unending fields.
Though can't see a river or a stream in it with visual eyes, people can see with their six sense looking at the cloud which their underneath are parallel, even though can feel the cool breezes that blowing through the river and touching and hugging at the audiences.

There are a sum of Shwedagon pagoda photos and paints in Burmese, but almost all the works are warm eye's views and some are bird eye's views. Eye level views are very rare, Mar Mar explains.

In Bagan Pagodas, some are very shine and bright with golden color. It make strange feeling to the visitors, seeing among the red brick Pagodas with over 1000 years life styles.
Some Bagan photos included the nearest mountain arranges, in fact it is not near Bagan, it lies the west of the Irrawaddy side, and Bagan is located east bank of Irrawaddy.
