Chiang Mai Markets Photography

Bubbly guy selling food at a night market in Chiang Mai, just north of the old city.

This was a heavy crop, using a vintage lens, but I loved his face peeking out of the colorful clothes racks.

Not sure if this lady was tired after a hard day at the market, or perplexed by something? 😀

A used camera stall, you can find lots of vintage camera lenses and film cameras from various sellers in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai Photography - 5 random shots

lots of characters bussing around the streets of Chiang Mai

Missed focus but I like the calmness of the monk

Aiyah buying some delicious Pad Thai - she has to specify no peanuts

Chiang Mai is quite flat, perfect for cycling

I thought I would experiment with this one and actually quite like it, what do you think?

Makati in Manila Street Photography

This is where it all began for me last year. I started with my phone on the first day and then took the Panasonic G7 out with the 12-32mm kit zoom the next day. I was hooked on street photography immediately and bought a black permanent marker to blacken my G7's Lumix branding to be more stealthy.

It was the best time of the year to be in Makati, the Philippines central business district, because it was Easter's Holy Week and nearly everyone was out of town. If you need to visit Manila this is the time to go.

I was nervous on my first day doing street photography in Makati, hence the wonky image and motion blur

This is my favorite from the set, love that attitude hehehe.

Street selfie

B&W felt right for my first couple of days, this place is rarely this quiet. 

Chiang Mai Weird Food Photography

I am no expert when it comes to taking photos of food, but here are some of the weird (and not so weird) options available in Chiang Mai.

That's right, people eat these things. A yummy selection of the finest bugs Chiang Mai has to offer. 😅

Duck!

Vegans look away. A local market butcher's stand.

These edible bugs look like maggots to me, now way Jose.

This pork BBQ is a popular snack in Thailand

Black and White Photos from Chiang Mai

Here is a small collection of my black and white photos taken in 2017 in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai tuk tuk and umbrellas

Mopeds or scooters are often the family car in Chiang Mai. Most people drive slow, so it is quite safe.
