Is there a digital coffee table book with even more lying around somewhere?

I find that traveling anywhere with a camera always forces me to be more observant of the patterns, textures, and light around me, and this is a way that photography makes life far more interesting. You have managed to capture each of these things in some really excellent shots. Many thanks for sharing them—-more of them will always be welcome when appropriate….

All the best!

Bhutan is literally wall-to-wall with penis-themed fertility art. It’s everywhere. I have a dozen of so similar shots, but that was the best one for the series.

Well composed as well. Photographer’s goals should include telling a story, and evoking an emotion, in addition to being pleasing to the eye. Your photography does all that.

That photo from Bhutan, is that really serious fertility art, or just a particularly well done bit of graffiti? I have a much cruder rendering of same I snapped from a wall in Hanoi back in 1988, when it was a poor & dreary place. And I thought of that song by Bruce uhh.. Cockburn.

I think these resonate with me, in part, because I often shoot similar scenes in similar ways, but in B&W, (e.g. https://flic.kr/p/2kSMy3Y https://flic.kr/p/2miaYp3). I can’t usually get the colors to work the way I want them to, but I am often stricken by the geometry, textures, and light of certain scenes, so I default to monochrome.
