place me in the rolling mountains of northern thailand and leave me be along the dirt road by the stream.  let me wander a village or walk alongside an elephant with my camera slung around my neck.  leave me while I sit in the rice fields as the sun sets and the villagers remove their straw hats and walk back to their homes.  if I could be anywhere in the world, i’d be returned to thailand, where life is simple and the land is untouched and my spirit is whole.
