Beauty in the eyes of the beholders
A row of boats lining up on the lake in front of the famous U Bein Bridge in Amarapura, Myanmar, to witness the impending sunset, forming a colourful and tumultuous diagonal in stark contrast with the pale and peaceful water expanse, closed by a dim horizon of greenery with some sparse pagodas.
About Artist
Eden Antho
Eden Antho is the pseudonym I have chosen for my pursuits in the photographic art, especially in the field of travel photography. I have always felt inspired by Apollinaire's extravagant quintain: Avec ses quatre dromadaires / Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira / Courut le monde et l’admira / Il fit ce que je voudrais faire / Si j'avais quatre dromadaires [i.e. (my translation): Riding his four dromedaries / Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira / Travelled the world near and afar / You bet the world I fain would scour / If I had dromedaries four]. Luckily, my profession as a linguist, indologist and orientalist has afforded me ample opportunity to travel far and wide in the Orient and especially in India to do field research, producing photographic documentation that I have sometimes used to illustrate my writings and lectures.
