I thought I ‘d start June with a bang. An explosion of motion. Just a bunch of light, color and blur. The leading lines are fun, but that’s about all. I made this picture on the streets of Bangkok. Thailand. The content? Well, cars and buses and a bit of the surrounding buildings. But youContinue reading “Something Noisy”

Working
Working is good for us. It’s what motivates us. it’s what gives us clarity. It’s what gives us fulfillment. So, “they” say. “They” may be right if the Buddhist monk is just doing the next thing that is front of him. In many ways, his work in this image just illustrates and old saying aboutContinue reading “Working”
It was Hot
I enjoy traveling by train so much so that even when I’m not traveling, I sometimes visit interesting train stations. I really enjoy going to the main train station in Bangkok, Thailand. It is called Hua Lamphong and is in the Pathum Wan District of the city. It was built in and 1916 and servesContinue reading “It was Hot”
Zoom Zoom
Thai speed. I made this picture a few years ago on the streets of Bangkok. Thailand. I’ve always enjoyed photographing subjects in motion and making them look and feel like they are in motion. Generally, that means working at night for the drama and exposing at f 5.6 and letting the shutter speed fall whereContinue reading “Zoom Zoom”
Bangkok Mist
Sometimes, I feel like just darkening things up a bit things up a bit. This is another kind of experiment. It’s not very pretty and I’m not sure why I did it and, more to the point, kept it. I guess I’m attempting to do something more movie like. I’ve always been drawn to endContinue reading “Bangkok Mist”
A Coke and a Prayer
Something like that, anyway. After all my poking around temples and wats in Asia I came to realize that Buddhist monks, especially the young ones, are pretty much just like any other person you might meet on the street. They go shopping. I run into them in the high-tech shopping malls looking a computers. TheContinue reading “A Coke and a Prayer”
A Little Truth
I’ve been reviewing portraits. Since my newest portfolio is portrait-based, I have a lot of choices to make. What stays in? What goes out? Which picture is a hero picture? Which images support it? Lot’s of thinking to do. A lot of instinct too. But, it doesn’t stop there. There is a lot of dataContinue reading “A Little Truth”
Finding Light
Continuing my thoughts from yesterday’s post about light… I found two images that are really just pure light with just a bit of content thrown in to ground the pictures. What I find very interesting is that both images were made in a holy building; either a church or a Buddhist temple called a watContinue reading “Finding Light”
Tiny Little Portraits
I’ve been photographing people for most of my career. A quick look at my history will tell you that some of my earliest work was published in the newspapers for whom I worked. Most of the images published in a newspaper are about people. It doesn’t matter what section of the newspaper that you findContinue reading “Tiny Little Portraits”
