Does anyone have a shot of their favourite corner of the moat surrounding central Chiang Mai, Thailand? Mine is this of the North East corner, shot a few week's back ...

@TimRussellPhoto @AMLaCassePhoto ... And Tim is a very sympathetic interviewer/host!

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Tim @TimRussellPhoto in Bangkok late last year, having 'known' him only on this space in the digital realm for 5 years. Tim is not only an excellent photographer but now host of 'I Want To Talk About You', a new podcast destined to go far!

For those who missed it, here's the link to Tim Russell's excellent new podcast channel 'I Want To Talk About You'!

@TimRussellPhoto Thank you Tim, for the distinct - and slightly daunting - honour of being invited on as your first interviewee! Your professional set-up and interviewing style do you credit, and I think it safe to say we'll be hearing a LOT more from your new platform. Cheers to you!

They seek him here, they seek him there...
But this weekend @lightchronicler was only to be discovered reflected in scenic Dihua Street, Taipei!
And I was very happy to tag along with my not-so-old friend for a great shooting session :-)

Known as the 'Cartier-Bresson of the East', Hong Kong street photographer extraordinaire, Fan Ho, captured rapidly changing HK in the 1950s and 60s in unique style. Masterful...and an inspiration to us all!

What comes first, the photo or the word? In 'Shoot, Ask...and Run!' I delved back into diaries handwritten over 30 years ago, and scanned in old slides before they fade, along with my memory. Shots like these, from an abortion clinic in Romania, in 1992...

@lightchronicler Thanks Hans! Such a lot of pressure trying to keep up the writing standard in a follow-up volume!
Happy New Year to you :-)

[Western Nomad @transasiatica]

@Tibalism Thanks Tiba, and Happy New Year to you, too!
I've been away from the Twittersphere for a while, writing books takes up a lot of time, word by word!

[Western Nomad @transasiatica]

Happy to announce publication today of the 2nd book in my series of travel-memoirs (life and adventures as a working photographer in Asia in the days before digital cameras and mobile phones!)...thanks to all at Earnshaw Books!
