water pipes for smoking flavored tobaccos. not a Thai thing, but I don’t think the tourists care…

You’ve got a great eye, blurs notwithstanding. For some reason, they don’t detract from the artistic flavor. I’m no photographer, but I’d say it’s your angles I like so much, the perspective. Looking forward to more slide shows.

thanks, Jolyn. I prefer a photo that captures the feeling over a technically-correct photo that doesn’t. but, then, maybe that’s just an excuse for being a sloppy photographer ;)

Hey Wes… great pics! Can you send me a pair of LEVA jeans?

I bought a pair and I love them! They go so well with my $2 Roy Bon sunglasses.

Wes, how did you come up with Johnny Vagabond? Sounds like a country music singer :)

Ha! Good call : it’s a song from Bonnie Guitar, who was a country singer in the 50s and 60s ;)
