Daisy Mae in her bowl
I’d like to dedicate this image to my good friend Lora Mae who loves leaves. This leaf from a tropical plant is exceptionally lovely, and I think Lora Mae would like it.

An intrigued Black Lahu elder, and his amused friend, looks at his portrait for the first time. This picture was taken on film in 1979 in a remote village far from a road in Mae Hong Son province in Thailand. The old man had not only never seen a photograph before, he had never been to a town, ridden in a car or seen a westerner. He asked me if I had come from the moon, as he had seen planes fly overhead.
Sunlight beams into the entrance chamber of Tham Nam Lang in Lum Nam Pai Wildlife Sanctuary in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand. This image was taken at the end of a 54 hour-long exploratory expedition in 1986 to reach the end of the cave’s massive 9-kilometre-long river tunnel. Some people say the best part about caving is getting out…Taken with a Nikon FM2, 28mm Nikkor lense and Kodachrome film.
Cave pearls, or oolites, grow in shallow pools like pearls in an oyster. Successive thin layers of calcite coat tiny seed grains. This collection is 5 kilometres inside a cave in Pang Mapha district of Mae Hong Son province, Thailand. Inside the cave, these rare wonders of nature are priceless, but if they are stolen by insensitive or greedy humans, they become worthless balls of stone. These oolites are particularly well formed and precious. Taken on kodachrome slide film, Nikon FM2, nikkor 55mm lens, tripod and flashes.
Scars of the tears I never shed
This grasshopper held its leaf, and I backed off. It had one of those ‘don’t mess with me’ looks. Taken in my magical garden in the mountains of Mae Hong Son province, Thailand.
Most smokers die prematurely but his Lua woman has defied the odds. I guess she was over 100. Her pipe full of rough homegrown tobacco was a constant fixture. Her weathered skin tells of a long life of hard work under a tropical sun, growing rice to feed her family. The Lua are a forgotten ethnic group. The original settlers of northern and western Thailand, the Lua share common origins with many other Mon-Khmer speaking groups who have lived since the stone age in every country from Vietnam to India. Assimilated and dominated by the Thais who arrived from the north about a millennium ago, the Lua have managed to maintain only a handful of small traditional communities in southern Mae Hong Son province, but the last of the Lua are fading fast. Taken in a remote village in the early 1980s on kodachrome slide film.
