Guangzhou, Bangkok & Yangon
Mid November to mid December, 2012
Cantonese girls in a three way siesta session at the colonial Shamian Island in Guangzhou.
As much as I love the People's Republic of China, one must have to admit that safety and precaution is not of highest
regard. A couple years ago a 13 story building in Shanghai fell sideways like a domino right before it was completed.

You have to love chinese security guards. When they are not not kicking you out of the spot, they are just tightly
snoozing. Probably one of the only countries where security & police are not really hated by the skate community.

Sheckler olling over the Plan B team in the efforts of 'People skating over people' concept.
Everyone seems to be in a fatigue state of mind in Guangzhou.
More ollies from the superstar himself.
Thanks American for not having Mitt Romney for the next four years as your chief of state. Too bad we couldn't
have had Herman Cain as our guy on foreign policies, it could have been a hilarious four years of negotiations.

With wider skateboards getting more popular now a days, i wonder if we will ever be riding 15 inch boards. Would
work as a good chair, as this fellow man is demonstrating himself.

I don't think I have uploaded a photograph shot with a digital camera since 2007 on this photo blog. Well it's 2013
and I am trying to cut costs on buying, developing & scanning film, which has added up to a cost between 5,000 to
8,000 USD per year for me. So since I bought my Nikon D600 camera, I decided to give digital a try & see how I end
up liking it. I still prefer analog, but will pick some digital camera shot photos as well. They will have a slimmer black
border than the analog one to distinguish the difference between analog & digital. Pictured here, Geng Jakkarin.

After a couple weeks of filming in China, I felt like I deserved a short break from filming, so flying back to my second
home in Asia, Bangkok seemed like my best option. Tommy Zhao vs Buddha in a staring competition.

Christmas time in Thailand is always fun?
More exhausted people being shot during bright daylight.
After a couple days of taking care of visas in Bangkok & linking up with old friends, it was time to fly over to Myanmar
with Tommy Zhao and Tobias Ulbrich which was meant to be a holiday but turned out to be another video project.

The trip started off with a mathematical equation when trying to change US dollars to Myanma kyat which roughly
equals 850 kyats to a dollar. ATM machines are still found very rarely within the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
But the country apparently has two machines that take foreign cards, one can be found in Mandalay which takes
Master cards, and we heard rumors that one can be found in Yangon which takes visa cards.

You can read up on Myanmar more on my past trips to the Union, like when we filmed for the Mandalay Express
and on my first visit back in 2010 during the elections.

Check out 'Myanmar' a short film I shot during the week long trip throughout central Myanmar, also known as Burma.
