I just got back, well let's say about a week ago, from my trip and now I'm more or less adjusted to the time difference, and (somewhat) adjusted to my day job. That is, mild mannered, cubicle confined program manager for a software company. Whenever I get back from a trip, I feel the withdrawal and the stark contrast of living a "creative" life day by day, and being surrounded by "life" as I wander the streets of various Asian cities. It's not easy for me to put myself back in a box, and go back to the daily grind. But, it "pays the bills" as they say, and keeps me funded for travels, photo shoots, and life in general.
During this past trip, I stopped in Bangkok for about four days, prior to hopping back to Hong Kong, which was really just a gateway for me into Southern China. I only stayed one night in Hong Kong. I had elected to go to Bangkok for a few days mainly to get away from cold weather for a few days, leaving fairly cool weather back in San Francisco and knowing it would be even colder in Southern China. I also wanted to visit a few friends in Bangkok, and do a couple of shoots with some models that expressed interest in working with me. I'm really glad I made the stop in Bangkok, and much as I wanted to stay, it turned out to be just the right amount of time.
