On this trip I’m using a Fuji camera (XT-1) with a fast 23 mm lens… Read the rest

While volunteering as a teacher in Bhutan, I took a break during the Christmas holidays of 1988/89 to do some backpacking in Thailand. I remember travelling with not much more than my small camera bag that included my toothbrush, an extra t-shirt and underpants. I’d wash my cloths at night and they would be dry by morning.
