Was für ein tolles Wochenende liegt hinter uns. Zusammen mit meinem Sohn war ich in #ChiangMai, #Thailand. Am CMC Youth Tournament spielte mein Sohn mit seinem #MLFA Team gegen Teams aus Malaysia und Thailand. Hier sind einige Impressionen.
I may have sat here a couple nights in a row till I finally started to get the shots I wanted. 7 eleven will always make me think of the years I lived (and then visited) in Hong Kong. That’s something I’ve really enjoyed being back in Asia: finding old memories in new places.
I had this friend who liked to take photos of windows, doors, etc and call them ‘portals’. We used to send each other these kind of photos and invite each other to imagine the worlds through these portals. While I’ve lost touch with that friend, I often think of her when I take these photos.
‘Finished’ editing my Thailand 🇹🇭 photos! Well, finished the first batch. Will return to them again after I get home. Really pleased with the images I was able to get and excited to start sharing them!
Here’s the Giant Reclining Buddha at Wat Phra That Doi Kham.
When I’m out taking photos, I love finding things I can line up and create with. So when I saw that there was a full moon still up in the early mornings at the Old City in Chiangmai, I went looking for things to create. It was interesting cause I’d see things from the street and think I could find the right angle. Not always true. So, finding this shot was it’s own reward.
Love when these moments line up. I was liking the pink flowers and wondering what I could do with them. Then this woman walked down the street with the perfect shirt!
I love finding these details on my photo walks. I may crop in a bit to get rid of the blown out sky but for now, here’s the first edit. Really enjoying the new features Lightroom Classic has in its latest releases that let me edit specific colors. Before I’d be using the color mixer and couldn’t be as precise as I’d like to be. Now I can be, if I choose to. I probably won’t on all my photos but I do want to get a feeling for these new tools and see where they fit in my workflow.
Last day in Chiangmai. While I’m gonna miss these sites, I’ll be fine with my walks not ending with me being a dripping mess. Looking forward to Cambodia!
So much YES. Would love to connect with fellow enthusiasts and professionals working in the field, and engage more actively, bringing in my own expertise of working in high end interiors and architecture. If that's you, please reach out, boost, connect.
We OBVIOUSLY can't 'keep on keeping on' and design our built environment like we don't know how fundamentally flawed our design principles and construction methods are.
Let's embrace new aesthetics and look forward, not back. Bauhaus was relevant at the time, it's history now. Let's move on. Let's question every single choice in the design process and make better decisions. Educate our clients. Throw those outdated concepts overboard of what is aesthetically pleasant, what is deemed high-end.
Nobody will enjoy marbled lobbies, airconditioned greenhouse towers and concrete buildings on a dead planet. The future is now. Let's design and build it together!
This adorable elephant was just big enough to get over the edge of the stand we were in at the elephant cafe where you can feed elephants. Had to get close to this and another baby elephant cause the adults were more than happy to reach past them for the sugar cane & bananas we were feeding them.
