Yesterday I wrote and published what I think is a very interesting story, with my photos of course. Ostensibly about the glue-sniffers here on the funky streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, but that's not really what the story ended-up being about. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean by that.
If you have the time and interest you can check it out here.
Here's the teaser photo:

That happens a lot and its often how I work. I shoot and shoot and only later, sometimes much later, do I finally discover what the real story is. Well that's life and I'm not complaining. Actually the esential point of this particular story did not reveal itself to me until I sat down and wrote the sucker.
It takes a long time to write. This story is about 1,000 words long and it took me hours and hours. Hard work, not as much fun as taking and processing photos, but quite satisfying once you finaly get the job done. I did git-er-done and there you have it.
And in other news… please stop by Sharkys on Thursday night when The Hellhounds once again take the stage to howl and wail the BLUES.
Should be a real good time with some new songs and some old ones that we repainted and lubed-up at our Sunday afternoon practice session.
