Here are a couple of images of Kay – he works in a bar near Walking Street Area of Pattaya.  Lovely boy and great model – I’ll post some more shots as I complete them for him and of course he approves.

Thanks Jim for this photo – I did alter it slightly but “fu*k” the wildlife – Lets go to Jomtien Beach and capture the cute boys.

I love that photographic expression and I think this photo says it all – notice they are all Canon – that’s my D7 in the middle.  ha,ha

First, I always go the North end of Jomtien Beach and rent a chair to enjoy the afternoon.  The predominate gay area (flying the rainbow flags) is almost in the middle – between  the police station and the north end of the beach.  Before and after are mostly family areas – Here’s some quick shots. And then to the wind surfing area, Parachute gliding, and ski boats :

Here are several versions of my masseur’s images.  Isn’t he sexy!

On the last one I used a template from  “PhotoFunia”  - they have some great scenes that you can submit your photos to and have them processed – only problem is that they don’t like nude, xxx or what they term offensive shots ( ???)  – so I have used this one in Photoshop to be able to add what I like.

Also you can check other same sites such as  PicJoke.net ,   Dumpr , FunPhotoBox , LoonaPix, Photo505 and  MagMyPic

Just getting used to Pattaya, little hotter than Chiang Mai, but has so much more to offer.  My daily trips to the beach has opened many new friendships and several evenings I have taken in local shows.  What’s nice is that they are within walking distance – so boredom is becoming a thing of the past .

Here’s a photo of a new friend I met.  Photography is still my major activity – Models are also easier to get here – so I intend to post more images in the future ( and paintings, I’m working on a few now)

This afternoon a friend will stop by to work together on Photoshop and developing better photo skills – he’s a professional journalistic photographer and I really look forward to learning new techniques.

Later this evening, Dana, will arrive from the US and I will meet him in Boys Town.  This will be the first time I’ve gone there and plan to bring my camera to get some shots.

And if you really want a very, very clean beach and water to swim in go down to Sattahip Navel Base and their beach area – there is a charge  Farang-80, Thai-30 but well worth it.

That’s my friend “Nai” walking on the beach, we went down for a afternoon and had a great time.  Of course I didn’t swim – maybe next time, the sand and water is really clear and clean – excellent for swim.

Fellow x-pat “Don” has these lovely Australian sugar gliders or flying squirrels as pets  - Thought you would like to see them – he carries them to the beach in a small towel pouch – I’ll get some more shots later – enjoy.

Here are some shots of the local hangouts – first off the beach – just a lazy day relaxing at the beach – 30 Baht for a chair rental , and watch the boys go by.  That’s Jerry below.

Oliver and his friend and a very cute young man who stopped by – also here are some of the best eating and drinking spots at Jomtiem.

Here are some shots of the fireworks from my condo balcony.  I am going to process all of them and will post the best later.

Just started to try my hand at painting again – What a great program Corel Painter 12 – The Leading Digital Art Software.

Try it out  - I am sure you will find it is well worth the money – It will open new artistic doors you had only imagined.  Try it first but I am sure you will buy it as I did.

So I tried my hand at a Chalk painting (Drawing) of a photo taken of a old friend of mine in San Francisco. By old I mean several years ago when I lived there – Roughly done and with a single square chalk brush it has started me back to checking out some of my older photos to see which would be a good candidate to turn into a painting.

I am just starting to experiment with its impressive array of brushes, paper textures, paints, oils, watercolors and more and will start producing better projects in the future to show.   Although it’s very crude I hope you enjoy.

Did some photos for Pea last week and finally found time to post them – shot in studio and then Photoshop’ed  - these two are my favorites.  Pea liked them and I hope you do too – comments welcome.

In addition:

It’s not been a good week – 2 people I know in hospital this week, got to visit them and both are doing OK -   In addition, Ton, who cleans my house has broken some ribs and will be out of commission for at least a month (it took me longer than that when I broke mine) – So I’ll be busy cleaning for a while.  Also working on photos for 2 other guys and when I get them approved I will post them too.

P.S.  Here’s another version of the first photo – Old fashion style.

Spent almost 3.5 hours yesterday getting my Visa renewed – 20 min for the actual renewal, but 3 hrs. waiting in line – I got there late and was number 12 in line.  Oh well, only once a year.

On my way down to the Immigration Center I took the Super Highway and it was starting to flood about Chiang Mai Land area. I made it through but I would imagine that within a couple of hours it was totally blocked and flooded.  I planned on going out later in the day and take some photos but was just too tired and stayed home watching TV – thankfully, Peter and his team got some shots of the flooding and a nice review.  Check it out

I think we all know about “National Penis Day” as celebrated as Hounen Matsuri, in Komake, Japan on March 15th.  Kevin sent me these photos and I also found a web reference.  But there is also a New Zealand version too – check it out.
