You pictures are amazing, your candid work is inspirational.
Amazing shot, and an amazing opportunity to visit Thailand. Hoping to get there someday myself.
@Martin I will do a full post on your question in the coming weeks because I have been getting some e mails etc. about street photography and the approach etc. I am no expert but the approach can vary from place to place. I was fortunate to be in Thailand where most the people were very comfortable getting their photo taken and welcomed the opportunity. I realize that is not always the case. More to follow. Great questions though Martin!
Wow. Incredible shot. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time there :)
Hey Sarah, maybe you could give me some good advice: When looking to your street-pictures, i wonder how you manage to capture a situation without "destroying " it when taking your camera out? I often wonder whether you never have any negative reactions, especially when being abroad? I spent some time in Kinshasa (DRC) and found it extremely hard to get some shots unrecognized...
It was either such a sensational thing that everybody wanted to be on the picture or people refused, saying "You gonna make money with our misery!"
But maybe that's an African phenomenon, where people are not that used to being photographed.
Still, it's a breath-taking place to take pictures :)

Sarah, I just love this image. I found myself digging into the details for way longer then I probably should of. It is full of depth! Can not wait to see more...
Like a good cup of smooth coffee I look forward to reading your blog. Your shots give me an inner peace and having spent some time in Thailand I feel like I am there along side smelling the smells and hearing the sounds.
Just fabulous
Reading your blogs and viewing your photos on Thailand make me want to pack up my bags and get on a plane today. Your stories are beautiful (photos to!). I just feel I'm seeing it all happen in front of me. I think travel writing might be another one of your awesome talents.
this image makes me long to go back. i can feel that warm Thai sun through my screen. hope you two are enjoying your time in paradise. be well.
Sarah, your images from Thailand are so compelling and you obviously have a knack for digging in to the true spirit of a place through it's people. Your images are really making me reminisce about my trip to Thailand exactly one year ago. It's such an amazing country and it really touches your heart and stays with you long after you leave...really like no other. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
your words are just as beautiful as the photograph. Reading the story, I felt as though I was right there, my skin was warming from that sun glow.
These images have been absolutely incredible. Everything from Tailand has been so full of feeling and meaning. Isn't that how all photography should be? You two are the coolest.
Isn't Thailand the best! I was there in Jan/Feb of this year, also hitting Vietnam and Cambodia. Amazing culture, sites, sounds, food...and yes, the people on the bikes are UNBELIEVABLE. I was obsessed with taking pictures of the mass numbers of people on scooters.
So happy for you and Chris to be experiencing such an amazing place! LOVE your outlook, photos and hearing about your experiences. The color of your photos add such a unique and special vibe!
Hope you continue to have safe travels.
Happy Holidays too!

So many emotions as I go through your Thailand pics over and over again. Lovely moment.

I love it. So much is said with this one image where no words are needed. (I also really love the color of his robe with the blue of that window - great contrast!)
