But for not having a camera I fancy I could have been quite a reasonable photographer. I've seen plenty of interesting and amusing things, mentally framed the shot... then left without it. A few more of my own pics and videos would have helped the bog along as well... That said 400 reads yesterday and made the dizzy heights of 37 on blogtopsites!!! Must do some SEO sometime.
Anyway, this is set to change with the purchase of a new camera. The practicality of it not being able to photgraph itself is all that prevents me sharing its beauty with you. It will make a difference and the less seen parts of Thailand will now be brought to the screen. The cafe's behind Sai Tai bus station, the towpaths of the Sead Saeb canal that runs through Bangkok and that insane footbridge that bisects 22 lanes of traffic on 3 levels at Lad Prao and the area around Bang Sue which I discovered when I got off the train at the wrong platform and got lost.
All in all lots of out of the way places that nobody is interested in enough to photograph. I'll leave the half billion other travel blogs to fight it out for best review of Chiang Mai Hotels. I get so many bloggers say they will mention me etc. etc. and do I have a special price seeing as I am getting a mention. The answer is yes... you can pay twice the price for wasting my bloody time. Here's a map, there's Yorkshire (God located it centrally in the UK so everybody has easy access to it!), now google tight arse capital of the world (which we are) and go blog there.
I've walked most of Bangkok and, like every where else, without a camera and believe I have taken in a lot more than I otherwise would have. I'll probably miss loads now with all that clicking and flashing distracting me... in which case, the bin awaits.
My old camera that rarely works will have a mounting fastened to the front of the motorbike and I'll attempt some moving footage of a pie delivery through Patong on a busy day. I have the old tripod so that is easily done. If it decides not to function, at least I know I have punished it well by tying it to the bike. Teach it a lesson if nowt else.
So, back to the baking. I am a pieman after all and it's steak and kidney, chicken and mushroom, mince and onion, cheese and onion pasty - with mash, gravy, mushy peas or liquor. See you at weight watchers.
Def Leppard! I was never a big fan but I did like this track and coming from Yorkshire we do look after us own!
