But first the thoughts.
I usually travel light. Very light. Just a carry on.
The clothes I wear. An extra pair of underclothes. Medicine. Passport. Debit/Charge card. Ticket.
Camera+ 2 lenses. Netbook. Cell phone. Battery charger. Some loose cash notes. Thats it.
I buy some local wear, toiletteries etc. when I arrive. Donate the clothing cleaned, when I leave.
What's that got to do with photography.
I was wearing a sarong and a shirt, when I saw a massage parlor. My camera is always with me.
No folks not that; a real high end spa/massage salon.
No sweat. Took off my saron and shirt. Showered. They had lovely towels. Spa and then the massage.
In my massage chamber, I noticed something. I photographed it.
My photographs are not art. They are not intented to be. But a lot are of the works of Artisans!
p.s. I never use credit cards. Never. If I don't have money, I stay in my house..in my room.
Never bought or spent extra money I didn't have. For years and years, Ayesha and me never bought any new clothes. Travel was not on our minds.
