Hi Mark. I want to go back to this region again soon myself. While I did the best I could on this trip with respect to photos, I could have done better. Unfortunately, the small group I was with were in a bit of a rush to get through the desert for some reason, resulting in some lost opportunities.
I was thinking of organizing a similar trip to the one I just took with some other like-minded photographers for next summer. Just an idea right now, but would be much easier next time around since I've already done it once - only requirement ... some willing participants.

James,
Absolutely stunning! The overview of your entire trip sounds fantastic. The region is one that I have longed to visit.
Great photos, and I am glad you are well.

I love this one most among the three you posted today. All are gorgeous with fantastic smooth color rendition and silky texture of the mesmerizing sand. But this one has some more play of lights & shadows in it which makes it more interesting to my humble eyes. Beutiful creation - its a work of art.

Nice capture of the congestion at Damnoen Saduak Market. Isn't it a great place for photographers? When I was there, we rented a boat and went up the channel a little way. There was a woman squatting on a platform brushing her teeth using channel water. I wanted a picture so badly, but I just couldn't bring myself to snap it of that personal moment.
Thanks for your recent comment on my Delicate Arch pic. You mentioned wanting to visit the area for mountain biking. FYI, it is a great area for that, although I'm now sure how much you can do in Arches National Park. There are many possibilities, however, in neighboring Canyonlands National Park. -- Naomi

Blue steel, quite cold looking, and quite strict in its geometry, that provides the construction such a stability! Getting such strong contours of blueish on blueish tones is an achievement for itself, and keeping the DoF over the whole range of interest is an additional one. Both of them make it to something very special in the category of abstracts. Only the upper right corner could have a bit less of that greyish surface, but that's all I would change.
Greate work and indeed a BIP, james! Congratulations!
Nick

Excellent crop and amazing colors on this macro, James! There is only a tiny amount of a redish haze on it, which I tried to remove with PS. I only compressed the red channel a bit (low lights) and I think that this correction corresponds to a slight underexposure on the camera - or doesn't it? Anybody with some further thoughts on this question?
Best wishes,
Nick

hi mark. as for this photo, i was almost in the rafters, there's a small observation deck in the departures lounge area that lets you get this close to the ceiling in suvarnabhumi airport, but its not terribly easy to find.
i havent moved to thailand, i was only there on holiday for most of the past month. i'm now back in guangdong province and will be here till the summer now, maybe longer, not sure yet.
take care and catch you later. james

Thank you for that explanation Wez... I had a feeling those stories of instant death upon removal of those rings was a bunch of malarkey (sp?).
Take care ~ James

Wonderful portrait James.
I watched a show in Discovery channel a few months ago that featured these Karen people.
In the show, a woman had her rings removed for some medical reason and she didnt fall over and die, or have to lie down forever! She simply stood in the mirror, and looked at her neck for the first time in over 20 years. It was an amazing show, really enlightening. She felt refreshed initially, and after around 5 mins started to feel naked and incomplete. She had lost her sense of self-identity i guess.
Without the rings on her neck, she didnt look remotely as strange.
Anyway, back to your picture. The bg is just away from the plane of focus exactly, and her expression is great. Well done!

pinar, before i went to this village i read all kinds of comments by other western travellers that said they felt sorry for these women and that they felt these women were trapped in some kind of zoo, where they were only photographed.
i didnt get that impression. for one thing, most of the women were not just sitting there being photographed, they were selling small trinkets to tourists, they were laughing and joking around with their friends, and they didnt look as if they were starving. in other words, they are little different from any of the other millions of villagers that live around the world, these women only look a little different.
the tourists who said they felt sorry for these women probably felt they were being exploited. but these same tourists looked at these women through tourist eyes, and not the eyes of these women, or other thais. there's the difference.
thanks for the comment. james
