I will try to keep this Weblog going for friends, family and anybody.
I'm interested in suggestions related to the following things:
-where to go
-where to stay
-where to eat
-foods to try
-things to do
-things to take
-things to watch out for
-things to look for
-things to photograph
-people to meet
-how to backup RAW photos to the internet
The trip will have an emphasis on photography. If all the camera gear gets stolen, I'll come up with a new emphasis for the trip. My past travels have generally had an emphasis on food and that should hold true here. Usually my hunger causes me to forget to photograph the food, but I'll make an honest attempt to do so before gobbling it.
I suppose I'll try to put up a photo or two in each post. I haven't been to Southeast Asia yet, so here's a couple other pictures.
Here's a shot of my sister, Natalie, with her newly gotten Double Masters diploma (Social Work and Public Health) from Columbia. Congratulations there. f/5.6; 1/50s; ISO800.Here's a shot of the author one night in the cold winter of '09. f/5.6; 1/160s; ISO200
