Mom Says I’m Running Away

Singapore; The First Weekend and the Plan

After almost three years of travel and photography you would imagine I have quite the stockpile of pictures, and guess what? You have imagined right.  Roughly 68,000 images not including about that many which I have already deleted while traveling or sometime since. It’s daunting, and I know buried in all that is the gold of a full blown career as a travel photographer.  Now I just need to find the time to get it all put together in a “will-you-hire-me?” package. That is one of the main goals of the next couple of months, go on an all our marketing assault with my images to editors and other people in need of a high quality Travel Photographer.

Oh, and in a couple of weeks here I am planning a short (2 1/2 weeks) sojourn to Laos and Northern Thailand to fill my computer with even more pictures to work on.

So, Felicia has a job and I, a mission.  Which means our weekends are precious because they are the bulk of the time we get to spend together here in Singapore.  It also means if we have anything we have to do, this is when it has to be squeezed in. Our first Saturday together launched us right into being busy, running all over the city-state to accomplish all sorts of tasks, the most important of which was a tie between hitting Ikea to replace her 3ft (90cm) wide bed with something bigger and meeting up with her Cantonese speaking grandmother for the first time and laying all my charm on her (aka lots of smiles and my best lack of western ignorance).  She seemed fairly pleased, so something I did on accident must have worked.
