Outtake Shots

in

I'm a big fan of these types of pictures because they're unexpected, raw, not in the shot list, in the moment, not perfect, messy, fun, relaxed and most of all - it came from the heart.

Bangkok up in Here, Part II

Thai food is awesome.

Watch The Hangover Part II and you'll know what this alleyway is all about.

Water market.

Lots of people enjoying the nice Thailand weather.

Those coconut pancakes were killer. Should've bought a few sets of them.

Back to civilization in Bangkok and time to hit up the food court area. Also love the food court places in other countries such as Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Bangkok up in Here, Part I

in

Thailand is a great country not only just for site-seeing but for the art and photography scene as well. Lots of great stuff out there. Spent my birthday there last year which happens to be during Songkran and although I spent most of my time in the car driving, I did get the chance to see a lot of the non-touristy side of the country. Fast forwarding to 2012 and here we are situated in the Grand Deluxe Suite at The Peninsula Bangkok. Can't thank the staff enough for their generosity.

Here's a little tour of the room:

Not just a living room but a living room with river view.

Let's get the suite room party started!

Part II coming soon...

The Tempts are Back!

in

The Temptations are back in town. It's going to be 12 shows all across Japan from Kyushu all the way up to Hokkaido, totaling 23 days in the country on their Motor City Memories tour. On top of that, some of my family is flying in to attend and also take a tour of Tokyo. It's going to be a fun little family reunion.

For some of you who don't know, that's my uncle fitted nicely in the bright red suit with his crew of amazingly talented singers. Richard Street is his name. He's got a bit of a music history considering that he's a three time Grammy Award and two time American Music Award winner.

I'll be up on a couple shows with the family and friends so if any of you are a fan of their music, let me know and I'll see what I can arrange. Schedule-wise with family coming to town, upcoming assignments/projects and traveling, it's a busy one at least til summer. I still can't remember really having "a day off" since the start of the year. Workaholic or not is the question I keep asking myself. Doing what I enjoy is addicting and certainly doesn't feel like "work" - just an added benefit to get paid for it. So much to do and see still but with all things aside, I'm glad I get to see the family considering the fact I haven't been home for over two years straight now.

More later!
