I’ve spent considerable time traveling the world, most especially in 2002-3, when I spent six months backpacking solo through Southeast Asia. Among the places I’ve visited are Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, India, Belize, Guatemala, and Ghana – all rich with textile traditions.
Photos from my 2-month sojourn in Thailand.
Cambodia photos, including the fabled Ruins of Angkor.
Vietnam photos, from two weeks in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi, and Halong Bay.
Photos from Laos, a country renowned for its beautiful scenery, laid-back lifestyle, and friendly people.
I spent 8 days in Vientiane, the capital, networking around the AIDS NGOs and weaving community, while enjoying some absolutely wonderful California-style cafes.
Rewalsar, India, and a few photos from Dharamsala. Rewalsar, in Tibetan, is Tso Pema. It's a small town sacred to Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sikhism...and a great place for meditating.
Ghana photos, from a 3-week trip to Ghana in early 2007. The main focus of my trip was African textiles, but I found plenty of other trouble to get into as well...
Photos from a 17-day trip to China in September 2007
