I haven’t been very good about posting lately, but I’ve been shooting – here’s a few from the last week or two.

I had an opportunity last night to photograph an opera rehearsal at The Boston Conservatory. With a little bit of luck one of these images might be featured in a print story about the performance.

I’ve done a preliminary edit of the photos from our trip and I’ve added them to my travel gallery page.

I had a custom-tailored suit made while we were in Thailand. It cost a small fraction of what it would’ve in the US, but quality seems very good, and it fits extremely well. Patsy assures me that I look good in it.

This guy was not the tailor.

We are home. That’s all I have to say :)

Monday Jan 11 was a very very long day for us. We were in Bangkok, Seoul and Los Angeles, not to mention 18 or so hours on airplanes.

At some point, we went back to the palace in Seoul while on our 12-hour layover there…

I like these ‘guards’ though Patsy thinks the fake beards peg them as low-rent actors who couldn’t get real acting work. They still make decent portrait subjects imho.

This performance was happening outside the giant MBK mall in Bangkok while we were there. The crowd was going wild, especially for the heavyset high-school cross-dresser.

Sorry Patsy, how can I resist a 50-foot woman?

Actually, I think he’s the real groom… (And he breathes fire, so I’m not even gonna consider it…)

The real story:

We discovered an AMAZING museum in downtown Bangkok, called the Bangkok Arts and Culture Center. Free admission, Guggenheim-like architecture, and tons and tons of fantastic art. It was barely mentioned in Lonely Planet, so we almost missed it (it’s oddly nestled in Siam Square in between some of the giantest malls we’ve ever seen (even big by the standards of bride and groom above.)) (And yes, I am in love with giant robots, but Patsy knows she has no competition :) )

The marriage for alien sign was spotted somewhere while randomly wandering Bangkok’s Chinatown.
