After a brief delay due to a missed flight and re-routing through Pennsylvania, I am home once more. Sorry for not posting from the road but internet access was not always available to me, nor was there much time to even offload cards. I arrived home with nearly all of my shots still in-camera rather [...]

So much to show and so little time. I find myself in a familiar place — not caught up with images from one trip and, yet, leaving on another. I’ll be in Jamaica for the next few days so here’s one more Thailand post to tide you over while I’m away. Of course, I’ll post [...]

My Thailand posts will continue soon, but I’ve been momentarily distracted by Spring. Bear with me.

It’s happened to all of us. We take the family elephant down to the river to wash off the accumulated sludge of winter from her undercarriage and, next thing you know, a water fight breaks out. Afterall, you’re sitting on the world’s greatest water pistol, right? Day three in Thailand and it’s a visit to [...]

Wrapping up day two of my Thailand trip were visits to a few temples including Wat Chedi Luang. Images from its prayer hall appear above. There are many, many temples in Chiang Mai — I believe I heard the number put at 1038 which hardly seems possible. On my fourth and last day in Chiang [...]

In the afternoon of my second day in Thailand, I visited some highland villages north of Chiang Mai. The people who live in this area migrated to Thailand over the last few centuries from China and Tibet. My first stop was a working village that was largely agricultural but had a couple of small stands [...]

My second day in Thailand began with an early morning visit to the market. In addition to a vast indoor space where everything was sold from clothing to hot meals, there were a line of vendors along the street stretching for several blocks. This was true convenience shopping in that people could ride up on [...]

Just a quick note to say that Adobe has announced Creative Suite 5 today, including Photoshop CS5. That’ll put a hitch in my day. Guess I’ll be watching new feature demos ’til the cows come home. Rather than list a bunch of links to the product information, I’ll just link to the post I ran [...]

I ended day one in Thailand at the night market in Chiang Mai. The market itself was fairly touristy — lots of t-shirts and trinkets — but the local traffic was colorful enough for me. I enjoy places where a large percentage of the traffic is on fewer than four wheels and Thailand is full [...]

Day one in Thailand continued as I photographed a cooking class at the Four Seasons in Chiang Mai. Beware the Bird Eye peppers in the bowl above. They are small but they are mighty. I have to say that the food that came out of this cooking class was some of the best I had [...]
