Anyone in the Washington D.C. area looking for a fall reset/expansion of the way they approach their photography would do well to consider this six-week course. I’ve known @billcrandall.com for 30 years; he brings a wealth of experience to this program.

Spending my post-checkout time exploring Siam Paragon, a high-end, design-forward mall in Bangkok.
Seen here: Gentle Monster, a sunglasses store that is a wee notch above the Sunglass Hut in my local mall.

A rainy last day in BKK, en route back home.
Was an experiment to head to SE Asia in the rainy season. Result: lush greens, fewer crowds, incredible bargain. 10/10, would repeat

My ride this week: a well-worn Honda Dream.
Speedo: not work
Gas gauge: same
Shifter: iffy
Slips heavily in 4th
Suspension: no suspense
Saddle: a tailbone killer
That said, there’s no abuse this bike can’t take.
100 miles today, riding right up to one archeological wonder after another.
🇰🇭 ❤️

Yes, they’re cute. But also smart little thieves. They especially love smartphones, which they ransom for treats.
I shoo’ed this little teenage asshole away when he tried to go through my bag. He immediately went to my friend Ash’s bike, where he tried to steal the keys from the ignition.
