Those of you familiar with my blog and past work know that I love Thailand's Vegetarian Festival. However there have been times when the rainy season was in full swing during the street procession. In others words outside mid morning was dark and dark is usually the death of digital. There is a new program out there that run a battery of test, sharpening, reduces noise and many others. My images are sharper now and the pesky low light high asa noise is gone. More soon. Devotees to Thailand's Vegetarian Festival parade in rain during a street procession
Back in the day I was always on the hunt for images in Southeast Asia. I could have just set back and take general and spot news assignments as they came. However, I had waited 15 years for the posting in Thailand to open and I was not about to waste it sitting in an office in Bangkok. I lived and still do with the notion that each day is a gift with no guarantee of a tomorrow. I loved to shoot, since I was 16 years old. Try as I might I just can not get on the video band wagon. I will pass on soon and all I have left are my images. Normally I post black and white photos on my blog but there are exceptions. This novice Buddhist monk in a field of sunflowers is a cool image for sure.
