Klongtoey Project / Changes

A few days ago I stated this website is going to be completely revamped. It will be, hopefully in the next two months, but for the time being, there are going to be several minor changes.

The first is the addition of a Start Here tab in the next few days. This is important and I should have done before—but I didn't. 

The second is the change of the front page. The first thing people see when they come to the home page is going to be photos of Thailand and Southeast Asia. In fact, the entire site is going to have more photos. 

As many of you know, I've added a membership section. More and more info is going to go to members and less will be on YouTube. In the past, I uploaded approximately 30 videos per month. Now I'm only going to upload 10-15 per month. When I go on trips, members will be able to watch full length travel videos, non-members will get the two or three minute version ala Rick Steves.

Two weeks ago I started a project in which I photograph and film the Klongtoey slums. On my second journey, I met Ber, a forty-year-old woman and former yaba (speed) addict now living with her brother and his family. There will be a video of my conversation with her brother going up shortly. In the coming weeks, I'll photograph and film more of Ber and her life. Her story is fascinating and for a multitude of reasons, I believe many stories from inside Klongtoey need to be told.

In the next 6-8 weeks or so, I plan on going to Bali to take photographs and for a little R & R.
