I have loved all of your pictures for a few months now but these are incredible. I have always wanted to be so bold to take pictures of the people I see on the street in other countries but I am always too nervous. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures!
Incredibly moving, and awesome portraits. Thank you for sharing.
what a great collection. I love how colorful everything is. Thailand is definitely up there on my list of places to visit. My favorite is the older lady sitting in the blue chair. She looks so fun and spunky.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said "A man finds room in the few square inches of his face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants." That resonates in these images and tells me that a special place in your heart was touched by each one. You have that gift.
@wrecklessgirl she is mine too... such a proud woman.
Hi. I love all your picturs. The ones in Thailand are so inspiring. I mentioned you on my blog today as one of my faves. Hope you have a wonderful New Years and THANK YOU. Melina
These portraits are wonderful! You truly captured each personality in his/her environment. I especially love the attitude of the last woman! Kudos :)
Gorgeous photos! I love how you captured the spirit and essence of each person and Thailand.

these are beautiful sarah! i hope you had a wonderful vacation... much deserved i'm sure!
So addicted to your blog. You are incredibly talented.
Beautifully captured! You did an amazing job! I love it!
This is a really interesting set of portraits, great work.
Thailand is the coolest place I've ever been. This makes me want to buy a ticket back there now.
@Beata I am likely going to do a post on this in the coming weeks but in short, yes, I raise my camera in question and smile to ask if I can take someone's photo before I snap the shot. All of these portraits were shot with my 35mm lens so I had to be pretty darn close to the people. Thailand is called "the land of smiles" and they truly live up to their name. Most of the people were very open and willing to have their portraits taken. There were only 3 times throughout the trip that I asked and was turned down. Every culture is different, every person is different and it is important to respect people when we capture them :) hope that helps... I'll do a full post on street photography in the coming weeks.
You are SO inspiring Sarah!!!
Beautiful what you wrote! I'm a big fan of Sebastiao Salgado, he's from the same country I'm from. :)
I LOVE to come here, your words always touches my heart! Thank You for that!
:)
Hi there Sarah - I just can't stop looking at your photos from Thailand - amazing! Just a question - did you just go up and ask to take the person's photo? I'm off to the US in March and want to take photos of any interesting people i cross paths with on our road trip. sometimes just hesitant to take a photo of a complete stranger...
Love B

your words brought tears to my eyes. It was exactly what I needed to hear tonight. The photos are most evidently emotionally connected. Thank you.
Thank you for such a beautiful reminder of jumping out of the boat. I cannot wait to talk when you get back.
the first portrait, that's my dad...skin tone, wrinkles, glasses, everything. in just one portrait, you were able to make me miss my dad.
Incredibly wise and moving words.
These are all so beautiful, but there are a few that absolutely stopped me in my tracks - where the soul of the person shone through the photograph with complete and utter clarity.
Impressive and full of heart.
Wow, these are all such powerful images! You captured each of theses individuals beautifully. They all have a different special look in their eye! I always enjoy seeing what you're up to next! Great job!
These are absolutely breathtaking. I am in love with the last shot. The look on that woman's face is priceless!
Stunning portraits. So much character.

Amazing! I do love her makeup, and her sense of style is great. :)
WOW! I love, love, LOVE the shot of Heather along up against the tree, stunning! Fantastic work!!
These are probably some of my absolute favorites of yours. I tell everyone in my family that I have already decided that I want you as my wedding photographer. (I'm 18) They say I need to find a boyfriend first. Details..details.
I love this Chris+Sarah! I just love the whole feel - it's Christmasy but not... Great job.
Seriously, is she the cutest person ever? I think yes. I'm jealous of that scarf, for sho'.

oooh the colours and the styling. so perfect.

Get Out!!! I love this series of images and the second image....I looked at it for a long time. :) So much joy jumps out of my screen at me!!!
Love this series. I love the simplicity of it. Thanks for sharing...
Okay, so I've got an idea.....how about you come to Australia so I can absorb some knowledge off you both!! ; ) I've probably said this a ton of times before but your work is just so inspiring.
To: Lori and David, you guys are wonderful and it was great meeting you all. love the life exuding from these photos and in acutality...see you around, heh?
From: Heather (and Jay, I'm surrre he'd agree with me)
To: Sarah and Chris, words will not do, how about a virtual hug and nod to how enjoyable you both are and how beautiful it is to see you do what impassions your lives. it was great to be in some of the scenes of Friday...
From: Heather (and Jay, I'm also sure he'd agree with me here too)
Sarah & Chris, I can't begin to tell you how much we love these shots! They show us, our personality, our love! Thank you, for everything! You are such wonderful, full of life people. We are so thankful to now consider you friends.
