Photography in Thailand

Thailand is a rich source for photographers with it’s myriad of colors and interesting subjects. The family laughs at me because I always have my camera with me so I can capture any moment in time. When I don’t take my camera out I usually end up kicking myself for missing a beautiful sunset shot or just one of simple life in the village.

When I’m in America I very rarely pull the camera out or take it with me anywhere which I guess is pretty telling in and of itself. I may just take for granted my daily surroundings but I think it’s  more the case that I find life much more interesting and worthwhile in Thailand.

I’d love to know others thoughts on what drives their photography and if that drive is the same when you are in your home country?
