Wired on 39 is an art studio based in downtown Yangon, where sculptor and photographer Don Wright makes and sells appealing wire sculptures. The sculptures range from larger than life sized installation art pieces to small table top pieces. Photography tours around Downtown Yangon and across the river to Dala are also run from the gallery. On the Downtown Yangon tour we walk around the most interesting streets in Yangon, visiting markets, mosques, temples, and hidden alley ways where you get the chance to experience life in this amazing city. On the Dala tour, you are driven round on trishaws stopping at markets and villages getting a chance to view and photograph life in rural Myanmar. Suitable for all levels of photographers or those just wanting to view street life in Yangon or visit the relatively untouched rural area of Myanmar. Tips and advice on how to get great travel shots are given as needed.
