I already have w-a-y more photos than I have time to post them on my blog. We visited the Grand Temple and the King’s Palace yesterday, where we saw a gorgeous Thai dance. All of the images I have posted thus far are unaltered from the original camera shot with the exception of having scaled…
Month: January 2005
Say Wat?
We hired a long boat for an eye-opening tour through the canals of Bangkok. These whacky, unweildy boats can be seen zipping up and down the river all day. They’re fine – as long as they’re going straight. Turning presents a challenge for a boat with a long drive shaft attached to the boat about…
First Impressions
OK, we’ve been here just over 24 hours now. You’ve heard it before, but Bangkok is hot and HUMID. Not as bad as Bali, but close. The air quality has been pretty poor since we got here, but I guess that’s to be expected with the non-stop traffic snarls, and what appear to be loose…
Good Morning, Bangkok!
Just a quick note to say that we made it safely and are getting acclimated to the lovely humid conditions. Our hotel room is beautiful and we will be posting photos soon!
Happy Birthday, Dave!
Forty Two big ones at Thirsty Bear. Yum!
It’s Here!
Four days ahead of schedule. Those very clever folks at Apple know how to make my day. The best thing though, has been Kelly’s reaction. She totally loves it! The funny thing is that the things she loves the most are all things she could have done on her PC for the last 2 years….
I Finally Did It
I couldn’t help myself. I simply could not pass up the chance to finally own a Mac. I’m waiting patiently for delivery – purported to be on January 24th. Review to follow.
Thailand Bound
In keeping with our tendency to follow natural disasters, Kelly and I will be traveling to Thailand at the end of the month. We will be visiting northen Thailand – Bangkok and Chiang Mai – many miles from the tsunami ravaged south. We’ll be staying the breathtaking Shangri La Hotel during our three days in…
More Wedding Shots
thedude was not the only photographer at Jack and Tres’ wedding way back in July 2004. Their friend George Hartzell chose a Nikon D100 digital SLR, a black velvet backdrop and a single studio flash with a large a SoftBox to produce these beautiful images.
In case you missed this…
The New York Times has an amazing graphic with a lot of detail and photos of the tsunami. (Opera users, press F11 and rejoice.)
Oh. My. God.
It seems that we have not heard the last of John Ashcroft’s schockingly bizzarre “Let the Eagle Soar”. Gee Dubya plans to have the song (and I use the term very loosely) performed during his inauguration! Look at this excerpt from MSNBC: “The inaugural ceremony will include performances by the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club,…
Happy New Year!
Better late than never, I suppose. Our party was great. We had a smaller crowd than in the past, and I took far fewer photos, but the food was certainly awesome. (Thanks, Julie!) We were also treated to a performance by gifted neighbor Eric Cheng and a few of his friends. We capped off the…
