Update #4: Sawa Dee-Krap!
Posted on January 13, 2010
Hello to everyone from Chiang Mai...
I've spent a good deal of time in the last couple days trying to write this update, but it's a rather overwhelming task to properly convey my impressions. If I only had two words I would call this place "idyllic chaos."
I tend to see things in details and piece the big picture together from there, so I want to post images here in that spirit. The formal photography project will develop slowly, in the meantime I want present a picture of this country as I experience it. Today I'll start with a few buildings and the view from my guest house to give a feel for the architecture. I've got plenty of themes and subjects brewing already, here are some of the more obvious ones to come:
Transportation
The Food
Temples and Monks
Street Dogs
Headless Buddhas
Powerlines
The concept of "sanook"
The King
So let's get to it then ... I'm a better photographer than I am a writer!
