What do I like about China? (other than low taxes, cheap beer, and the availability of fried chicken.) The stories. In a country with 5000 years of recorded history there’s a tale or two to be told. While the Europeans were living in caves, a movie character once memorably said, the Chinese were building cities…
going for broke
One of the best things about traveling, about teaching ESL, is the things I see and the students I meet. Summer camp is a misnomer compared with North American summer camp. There are no tents, campfires, marshmallows, or canoes. There are English lessons, games, and contests. After a day in the classroom the ESL teachers…
hot, teacher, hot!
The result of basketball on a sunny, sub-tropical afternoon. Raymond was a tad hot, as was the photographer. To do this justice you need to view it larger. Click the image. Captured: July 21, 2008. ________________________ Tech Stuff: [lameda_exif id=971 info=”camera,focal_length,iso,aperture,shutter_speed”] spacer spacer Subscribe to asian ramblings.

messing about with double happiness
This is a little something I’m messing around with. Mrs. Stevo spent the afternoon shopping (that’s not much of a shock) and I was short a model. Never being one to shy away from the camera, I stood in her stead. The point of this will become apparent when the project, something really cool, is…
beautiful bride
Congratulations, D and E. Captured (not by me, I was performing the service): July 14, 2008. Luckily, I didn’t have to get into giving wedding toasts.
visual hangover
Mongkok, (Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR) is a lot like a hang over if seen during the early-morning hours. The trash and debris of the night before litter the streets. It’s ugly and disappointing, much like the one-night-stands the causes of the trash and debris discover as they wake after a big night out. Dedicated cleaners…
I hate Hong Kong: A conflicted: love/hate relationship with my mistress
I hate you, Hong Kong. On your streets I feel like an adulterous husband.. How could I love the bastard-child of opium-laced British Imperialism?

watchful gaze
A Thai Soldier stands guard at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, overseeing the arriving mourners. Princess Galyani Vadhana, sister of Thailand’s King Bhumibol, died after a long battle with cancer, January 2, 2008. The King declared 100 days of national mourning for the princess, who was deeply respected by Thai citizens for her work in…
walking into the urban sunrise – a photo essay
It started with this: I had been meaning to get out at dawn, to shoot from somewhere other than my balcony. If I were brave, I could count the images I’ve posted, all shot from my balcony/sniper’s nest. Mrs. Stevo and a classmate (who I would interview later in the morning) were sharing the bed….
