It is a charming and satisfying thing that there are still places in this world where magic seems to pervade the sights, smells, and sounds of a place more than the trappings of the so-called modern world. For more than ten years Scott Stulberg has made multiple pilgrimages to Burma (sometimes called Myanmar) to capture this sense of magic with his cameras. The result of those pilgrimages is captured here in a collection of images that display the heart and soul of this magnificent country.
This is a place of dreams. Bagan, where two thousand pagodas carved from the native rock occupy an area one-sixth the size of Washington, DC. Mandalay, an exercise in calm and chaos that seduces the eye in every direction. Inle Lake, where images pop up around every corner: fishermen in their long boats, their legs wrapped strangely around the paddles; small villages clustered along the water like clumps of mussels clinging to a rocky shoreline. Mrauk, a place so remote that tourists are a curious rarity. And Yangon (once Rangoon), a tropical coastal city that still bears the remnants of colonial rule along its shady avenues. And around every corner of this country of contrasts are Burmas Buddhist monks in their distinct saffron robes. Their warmth and openness have come to symbolize this amazing country.
This second edition of Passage to Burma includes new photographs from Stulbergs latest travels abroad to this remarkable place. This is Burma, wrote Ruyard Kipling. It is quite unlike any place you know about.

For my baby
Years ago in a basic photography class in Los Angeles, one of my students was a shy young girl who had no idea she would change my life forever. She has been the wings of my inspiration and has shown me what true love can really be like.
Holly, you are the love of my life and I am so lucky that you found me that day long ago and forever changed our destiny.
With you at my side, anything is possible
Acknowledgments
I want to thank a few people without whom this project would not have been possible.
The first is my good friend, Dr. Steven Shepard, whose true friendship and expertise on so much about this world we live in has shown me what wisdom is all about. My travels on this planet pale in comparison to his, and his guidance and forethought have helped me understand how to explain lifes experiences in words. You helped me find my voice for this book, and I consider your friendship one of the great gifts of my life and will forever be in debt. Thank you, Steven.
And to my Burmese guide, Win Kyaw Zan and his amazing wife, Ma Yu Zarni Aye, who together run Asia Photo Travel, the best tour company in Burma. You both are two of my favorite people alive.
Winyou opened my eyes to really see inside my favorite country and over the years have shown me what Burma truly is. You realized from our first trip together long ago what I was seeking and helped me find my artistic vision inside your amazing country. You knew what I wanted to capture before I did half the time and the two of us are always magical together. Youve called me your favorite photographer which is such an honor coming from you but you are without a doubt the secret to my success in the one-of-a-kind Burma. Not sure if I can ever thank you enough but always know that this book is because of you. We pushed each other to get powerful images of your country, but if not for youI know this book would be a distant dream.
And last, to my mom and dad, who long ago gave me my first camera at the age of ten and never stopped encouraging me to keep my eyes open and try new things. I miss you both so much

San-San, her angelic face glowing in the setting sun near Bagan, will forever represent Burma to me. My friend for life, San San is indeed an angel.
Introduction
The names here evoke thoughts of intrigue, of quiet voices in smoky bars with slowly spinning fans overhead: Burma, Myanmar, Mandalay, Rangoon, Bagan. The country lies in the sweltering belt between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer, and monsoons are an ever-present reality.
