Sawadee Khrap
Here are my favorite photos – from the Shan refugee camp near Wiang Haeng, Thailand - I took these memorial portraits – hope you agree.
I really hope the new Gov’t’ in Myanmar will allow these people to return and finally live the life they search for. Meeting this lovely couple was the highlight of my day there.

Sawadee Khrap
Last week at Wat Pa Pao they held a concert to raise money for the BKK flood relief. I stopped by for a little while to get some quick photos. Met Wit and a couple of his friends there and we had a bit to eat before the show started.
It is very refreshing to see the guys

The new lens on the old 350D camera really helps and the photos are very clear – I’ll let you know what happens as I’ll probably rant and rave if the new one doesn't get fixed soon – I paid a lot of money and don’t expect a “Professional” camera to go tits up after 300 photos – they advertise a 150,000 shutter life – We’ll see.
