So Again. Like I said. This Blog has no order to it. Just throwing pics up as I like. Here are some of the picture from Thailand from a few years back. I can't take credit for these ones but I think they are pretty awesome all the same.

Thats one Big Buddha You can see me there in the shorts..The first time I saw a toilet like this I asked myself. Hmm I wonder what that hose is for. Then I asked. Hey where's the toilet paper? Then I put two and two together. I made sure to use the toilet at the Hotel before I went anywhere!

I like the social contrast in this picture..Again. Who thought a Monk would be a smoker?


I have over 300 hundred pictures from the trip. So many temples. But I really don't feel any of these give a good perspective of the place. The majestic feeling of these ancient buildings was truly overwhelming at times. I spent literally hours just walking around the grounds thinking of what it must have been like when these were built. Unreal.

One day I'll get the pose right..

Elephants.

The poverty is unreal. I think as a photographer there is a fine ethical balance of exploitation and representation. I feel that by showing this poverty through the expression of photography, I am better able to bring awareness to the issues. I hope that by bringing this awareness to how millions of others live their lives, people will simply think. They may do nothing about the issues, or never change as an individual, but I hope they think.

Despite having Nothing. You see the happiness in the eyes of these children. Makes you think. What do we truly need to be happy?

Love.

By this point in the trip I was getting tired of temples. Dreaming of the beach.

Jack Fruit is Nasty!

Amazing that you could get bored of such an amazing place. But After 2 weeks of the same temples. I was ready to drink a cold beer on the beach...

Really? What can I say...

This picture gives no justice to the size and magnitude of this landscape.

Paradise really.

Sun is going down. I'm still sweating.

So apparently Thailand has a slightly reduced level of concern for the safety of its tourists. Oh I don't know. Maybe this is completely safe...

Majestic. No zoom lens or tricks.

These Tigers were 16 months old. Still kittens really.

One of my very few complaints about the country...
