Summer in Laos

When I traveled to Laos this summer I was intending to regularly send back digital photos, IPIX shots and commentary about my experiences that could be posted on this web page to provide web site visitors the sense of traveling with me. Working out the logistics was harder than I thought, and "regularly" turned into "occassionally," but at least now I will be ready the next time to go! I brought with me a Nikon Coolpix 950, with fisheye lens for the IPIX shots, and G3 PowerBook that would allow me to download the digital photos and make the necessary adjustments in Photoshop. (Although most of my photographs that are posted on this web site are taken with Canon EOS cameras with a variety of lenses.) This way they could then be easily posted on this web page and saved to a floppy so I could attach them to emails I'd be sending back to the States. In Vientiane I did locate a Cybercafe, PlaNet, which made getting on the Internet easy, and the cost was actually quite reasonable. They have a second cybercafe in Luang Prabang which provides equally good service, so I now know that at least in these two cities getting online is no problem.

For my summer photos I've decided to provide thumbnail galleries of my photos in a table format with descriptions along side. If one of the thumbnails intrigues you, click on it to see an enlargement. Displaying photos on the web is problematic and I hope the thumbnails give enough detail to lead you to the next step of opening up the thumnails to see the "full size" photos. This way you'll be able to see what I really saw and feel what I felt, I hope...  And, I'm always curious to know which ones you liked the best and why.
