Nothing Happening, So How About Some More Pictures?

Not much interesting has been happening. I’ve been with June in Bangkok for almost a month now, so it’s kind of like I live here. Not really doing any vagabonding. So since there is nothing much to report, except that I will be going to Laos in about 3 days, here are some more pictures. Again with a concentration of street photography. I know these are not the kind of pictures everyone has been anticipating. You’ve probably thought they would be more like, “Here’s me at the zoo” “Here’s me at the waterfall.” “Here’s me scratching my butt.” “This a statue of King Rama the VIII,” etc. But I really like street photography, so that’s what I have.

The Smoking Monk
When I walked by he asked me if I had any blow

Okay I lied, “Here’s me at the waterfall!” Except I wasn’t standing in front of the waterfall at that moment. Ratankiri, Cambodia.
Did I already put this one in a post before, I don't remember?

Yeah, you are seeing it right. Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
A little off the sides Charlie

Bangkok, Thailand
I love finding interesting looking people like this to shoot

Badmitton Lovers
I told you badmitton was popular here

A common sign in Bangkok guesthouses.
This is what they think of their lady citizens here. Not to mention the clientelle

The seat behind the door on buses is reserved for monks, and he rides for free.
For some reason I like taking pictures of monks.

There are thousands of stray dogs in bangkok, but this may not be a stray dog. He’s too small, he would never last.
Hey where's all that Bangkok traffic you're talking about?

Another interesting face. Bangkok, Thailand.
I have nothing to say about this one

Crater Lake in Ratanakiri, Cambodia. The locals jump in fully clothed. Eventually the guys will shed their shirts.
I have a funny story to tell about an Israeli girl and her boobs at this lake. Ask me to tell it and I will.

I took this one when I was here on Oct, 20 2004. I didn’t include it here for photography’s sake.
Part of my People Who Harrassed Me photo's from 2004

This is the same guy on the same corner selling the same shit. Photo taken, Jan, 28 2006
And he's wearing the same shirt.

This guy is also in the photo from 2004, this one was taken on Jan 28, 2006.
It looks like he might be wearing the same clothes too

Gotta love those Monks
What's he hiding under his robe?

Another from The Crater Lake
I hope there's water below him

Waterfall in Ratanakiri. I mentioned this picture in my last post post. It came in 398th place out of 829 entries on DPChallenge.com

I didn't direct those people, I swear. They just posed like that natuarally.

Withdrawal
This one came in 93rd place out of 188 entries in the tribute challenge. I paid tribute a street photographer

I lamented in an earlier post that there were no squirrels in Thailand. Look what I found!!!!!

Rocky Raccoon

June and I really love this one. I hope you do too.
Taken from a bus.

All done. June and I are about to go to see a jazz musician now.

    Hi Paulette, Jo, Laura and you Mark,

    I’m looking forward to see more pictures and read your blog, too. I miss everyone at B&N. Wish you all the best and lots of love in the Valentine’s day. (A lot of customers, huh!) And for Laura, I heard the news about the snow storm in NY & NJ, so I wish you are safe. The world’s weather is crazy nowadays. It has been raining in Thailand since yesterday. I hope Mark is safe there in Laos, too.
    Happy Valentine’s Day to y’all. : )
    June
