Long Time No See

I've got a thousand things to say. And yet I find it so hard to put thoughts and feelings into written words these days.

No, I am not being Emo. Maybe that's the problem. A little too ambivalent, I suppose, to be in the mood for my usual opinionated commentaries.

Its also like skipping gym for sometime. After awhile, you lose the momentum of exercise and quickly descent into the abyss of laziness.

Perhaps next week. I'll reclaim my blogging Mojo.

UnkReads - 9 Days In The Kingdom

I wish I could say that the images below were photographed by me.

Unfortunately, you can tell that these were snapped from a great new book I am reading. One entitled, 9 Days In The Kingdom by 55 great Photographers. And naturally, I am not one of the 55. I won't be here, pathetically trying to capture a few of the hundreds of magnificent pictures in this coffee-table book from the humid discomfort of my kitchen, if it was so.






In January 2007, 55 of the greatest names in the world of professional photography congregated in Bangkok. Their job? To capture a slice of the country in 9 days and commemorate King Bhumipol's 60th Anniversary on the throne.

And so off they went, each with an assigned agenda. To the far North and the Deep South, from the Andaman Coast to the great Northeastern plateau. To shoot an aspect of Thai culture that complements their style and particular Eye for photographic detail.

The result, a stunning portrait of the Kingdom told in pictures (and some words). One day, one day, I will be involved in a project like this.

In the meantime, I can only gawk.
