Aye just took a look a these pics and was a bit startled by the body. I think this would be a good spot to throw that pic of your wife plucking garbage out of the river by your place....absolutely horrifying. "Look what he makes her do". ; )

So did they drag the guy out and give him a proper burial?

I was with the Thai military, they said he was SPDC and kept going.

Kick- ass. It's about time you post some new pics.

Great pictures Utra Swain!

I like the Tri-x effect you are getting with your b/w settings. Sometimes b/w seems to express more than colour.

The Muay Thai guy who looks like he's shitting his pants gave me a chuckle too. He looks like he's wondering if it's too late to sneak off home ^^

Some of these pics were taken by a real photog (Jason Florio), mostly the ones with me in them. But the Muay Thai shots I took at the local fights a few months ago. RYP sold me on shooting b/w in the jungle and I stole his settings. I wish he would post more of the shots he got here because they really are amazing. I will go through my older shots and post more in a day or so. They aren't quite as sexy but a bit more informative.

Robert has around 327 Bazillion photos on one camera alone, he needs a photo editor with alot of time on their hands
but since he's Robert there is no way he'd hire someone to do a job he can do better.

I want to know what those B/W settings are ;)

[sonnydae]

Did you hear of the Free Burma Rangers while you were there? Same neighborhood. That Muay Thai fight, was that one of the refugee camp fights?

[sonnydae]

Also, isn't that the Karen State flag on that guy's jacket? Since you were with the Thai military, how'd you run into those guys?

[Hitoru]

Cause they're "on the border" ?

[sonnydae]

Yes, on the border. I appreciate the obvious. But if the military wanted to avoid the dead guy, I would have thought they'd want to avoid the live guy. Just asking a detail.

[Hitoru]

The Thais never ever have supported the Karens.

[sonnydae]

Exactly why I asked, you validated my question.
