Summit Hotel [photos 2012]
In Malaysia we stayed in a nice hotel, although they had some technical issues like charging extra for Internet. The lobby was ornate as is typical of upscale places. I ‘shot this one from the hip’ and although it’s slightly off center, I thought it turned out pretty good. This is a huge light fixture…

Malaysian Chinese Food [photos 2012]
Today was a long one. I flew from Ho Chi Minh City to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to visit another supplier (on relatively short notice). The flight wasn’t that long, but it was early. When we got to the airport I asked about wi-fi. The answer was “no, it’s not on this early.” I cracked up.…

Fresh Poultry [photos 2012]
One stretch of road that I’ve been traveling this week has several ‘food vendors’. It’s difficult to get a shot from a moving cab, but I thought this one of fresh poultry turned out good enough to share. Have your choice of chicken or duck. If they only knew what was in store … This…

Omnivore’s Heaven [photos 2012]
Today I have another food photo. I really didn’t have a lot of opportunity to take photos today other than industrial notes. We ate at this awesome Brazilian restaurant. they bring the meat to the table on skewers and they keep on bringing it until you beg for mercy. Beef, lamb, chicken, more beef, calamari…

Shrimp Boil [photos 2012]
The subject of today’s photo is the most spectacular of several courses of a Vietnamese meal that I had this evening at a great open-air restaurant. The Shrimp were brought out like this hanging over the edge of a coconut shell. The waitress then dressed (removed the heads of) the shrimp and stuffed them in…

Smiling Faces [photos 2012]
These three little girls pretty much made my day. They were guests at a wedding at the Ramana Hotel, Saigon. They are learning English and with much giggling they were testing their skills on me. They asked me questions and after I would answer they would run off and discuss what I said and come…

Electrical System [photos 2012]
I traveled through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City for the first time today. The motorcycle traffic is the biggest ‘wow’ but the electrical system is a close second. I think this photo does a good job of summarizing my first impression of both the traffic and the electrical system. Chaos! This post is…

Welcome Aboard [photos 2012]
Nothing very artsy about today’s photo, but I think it’s fitting. I spent about fourteen hours in that seat flying from Houston to Tokyo. I’m writing this from the Tokyo airport and I’m not even sure what day it is! It’s all starting to run together. This post is part of my One Photo Per…

Moving Van [photos 2012]
This is the gate latch on an old moving van that is actually sitting on my property. My Yorkie started a game some years ago where she barks savagely at the latch when I rattle it. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

Snowflake [photos 2012]
Our local phone company puts up about five miles of these Snowflake lights every year for Christmas. I love incandescent lights against clear wintertime sunsets. I missed perfect light by five to ten minutes, but I was on my way home from work. Cold today! This post is part of my One Photo Per Day…
