I’m trying to do more interesting things with all the photos I’ve taken over the past few years. Here’s a new little micro-site I did around my pictures of Buddhas I took in Thailand in 2003. Let me know what you think!

I can’t remember if I linked to this before or not, but I threw together a quick site for some of my elephant photos. Click on the thumbnails below to see the full picture.

Since I haven’t traveled for a while, I need to refer to the memories

Over the past few years, I’ve manage to accumulate several decent pictures of elephants, from Tanzania and Thailand. I wanted to try out a couple of things, so I set up a separate little mini-site to highlight the pictures.

Check out my elephant photos.

I keep promising myself that I’ll go back and actually write my Thailand travelogue. For now, I’m just flipping through the photos trying to figure out which ones should make the cut.

I really like this one from a traditional Thai fingernail dance:

Those of you reading in a newsreader may not have seen my new banner logo; you should click through and check it out.

At our celebration at the end of last December’s Habitat for Humanity build in Chiang Mai, we went to a show and later gathered in the parking lot, where they were unleashing these firebags.

These were big bags of light canvas, almost like cellophane. In the middle was a brick, a little like charcoal. The person would light the brick, and everyone who was looking for a little good luck would hold the edge of the bag. When the bag was fully filled with hot air, we’d let it go and make our wish.

The logo is using a picture I took as it was maybe thirty feet above our heads. We were able to watch it fly for a couple of miles into the sky.

It’s probably wildly illegal here in the states, but it was a wonderful ceremony.

I had to clean all the frost off my car this morning, for the first time this winter. Brr. Grr.

I missed the last storm. While Boston was being buried, I was snorkeling off the Similand Islands near Phuket, where I took this picture of a lonely longtail.

Looks kinda nice, eh?

I don’t miss Thailand at all. Not at all. Not even if it’s 85 degrees warmer there.

Which it is.

As I’m working on the Thailand travelogue, I’ll post some of my favorite pictures as a tease

Here is a baby elephant, just eight days old at the time of this picture. We saw him and his mother at an elephant show in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
