Photography has been with us for a while. The first surviving mention of the principles behind the pinhole camera, a precursor to the camera obscura, belongs to Mo-Ti (470 BC to 390 BC), a Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohism. Mo-Ti referred to this camera as a "collecting plate" or "locked treasure room".
...And I’m all about easy when it comes to equipment. That leaves my brain free to concentrate on composition and capturing the moment... I’m like a starving cheetah on the prowl when I walk the street.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the worlds longest reining monarch, and the love his people have for him is well founded. He has spent his life working for the Thai people trying to make life better for them and Thailand a better place. His reign has seen dozens of prime ministers come and go.
I had a chance to visit a rather unique attraction in Bangkok, the Ancient City Samut Prakan, once named Ancient Siam. The Park/Museum is 320 acres and has a shape like the map of Thailand.
There are many places to shoot street portraits in Bangkok. One of my favorites is Khlong Toei.
