1. Photographically It’s hard to say at this early juncture what will happen. My Photographic endeavours will start out in the Thailand area and hopefully expand a little beyond that later in 2009. Sao and I are relaxing for a few days while the New Years rush abates (It was a long week/weekend here) and the roads will be chaos for a few days as the families return to Thailand’s only “Real” city.

Expect some Tigers, Landscapes, Temples, Monks and maybe a trip to Laos.

2. Personally
2009 marks itself as the first time in my life I’ve been unemployed over a new years period. Kind of a weird feeling really. Fortunately, I am not employed in an industry that has borders, limits or dependencies that a fixed location type employ may have. So we’re confident of securing new fund generation opportunities soon. One must be able to buy ones toys. We’re on this earth for a good time, not a long time. In the meantime, we sit back, spend less (yes, I utter these words) and see what the future brings.

3. Philosophically
In 2009, I am going to try to develop some styles in my photography. Make more of an effort to be a little different, bolder and outgoing. One can get introverted and stuck “en style” on occasion. Only my friends can tell me this is working as the year progresses. I am reading more on the subject and I’ll be looking for help friends!!

Cheers and have a grand 2009, despite the circumstances!!!

Alister and Ali took us out to Zhongdian, the absolute highlight of our trip in Yunnan Proince, China.

Families find it a great honour to send their sons to this Monastery.

Here some Monks play instruments while others do some sort of dance in front of them
