Back in Bangkok one last time. What a fantastic journey Burma was! I can’t believe how quickly a month went. I didn’t really miss my computer or the internet, but I did miss listening to my music, especially on the long bus and train rides. I just checked my email and had over 500 messages waiting for me when I returned… It was almost entirely junk emails promising longer, harder erections, stock tips, a lower mortgage on the house I don’t have, and all kinds of other stupid stuff. A total waste of time. No, I didn’t miss email at all. I’ve been frantically busy trying to edit, caption, and burn image dvds and get them shipped of before I leave for Nepal tomorrow AM. I just finished it, so now I can actually use the laptop for updating my blog! But now I have little time left. Burma is amazing. The people are the nicest people I have ever met anywhere. I met a monk in Mandalay who accompanied me though the last few weeks of my trip. It was great fun. I can’t even begin to write about all of it right now. I even managed to take several good photos. I’m finally getting better at this travel photo thing. Practice practice practice. I could spend hours writing about my experiences, but I don’t have the time right now. I have to pack up my gear, get a box to ship some gifts and discs back home, meet Michael McGarrigle, the guy with the greatest job in the world, for dinner, and try to get about 20 other things done here on my last night in Southeast Asia! Yes, I am going to NEPAL tomorrow morning! I can’t believe it! Everywhere I’ve gone seems to get better then the last place. If you asked me what my favorite place was, at any time on my trip, I would normally be able to say it was the last place I was. This trip just keeps getting better and better! Unfortunately, my trip may be cut short. I may be heading back to Seattle July 1st, as my sub-letter wants to move out before October 1st. Coming back July 1st at least allows me to attend my good friend Robert’s wedding in Cyprus, which I have be planning my entire trip around since before I left. Ok….much to to….must go now!

Gregorio –
I do miss you. Even when there have been no assignments on which to collaborate, your absence leaves a void in my life. But life is good, as are the very wonderful Brenda and the very pubescent Gabe. Lately I've been very busy shooting. The current cover of Sports Illustrated, a good amount of corporate stuff, and other fun projects. But they'd be more fun with you. I'm happy to read your blog and think about your great adventures.
