Burke received five National Endowment for the Arts grants, and a John S. Guggenheim Fellowship. Bill concentrated his photographic efforts in Indochina for the better part of 20 years. A number of books came out of his time in Asia: I Want To Take Picture, Mine Fields and Autrefois Maison Privee. Most recently, Bill completed a project entitled DESTRUKTO which pokes fun at the contemporary art scene while paying tribute to Hunter S. Thompson, Ant Farm, Andy Warhol, and Robert Capa.
