Hey all,
While back in Bangkok it was time again for the monthly Reggae party. Pretty much the same crowd, plus a few extras… like every reggae party. The party was good, lots of people this time - the Xmas Reggae party wasn’t as full as these parties normally get.

Well,
I went back to Bangkok for a few days. Of course I was going to swing by Glow to cover a couple events. Friday night they had a DJ from Bali. She was really, really good… just too bad more people weren’t there. I think most people were over at P35 and another event. P35 event pics to come soon.
I shot these pics for Glow, so you’ll have to go there to see them

Hey all,
I’ll be heading back to Bangkok tonight. I have a shoot with Horizons (pictured above). They used to be a branch of Casa Pagoda, but re-branded and launched a new store with 4 floors. 2 floors are divided into “light” style furnishings and 2 floors are “dark”. Should be fun.
Then it’s probably off to shoot the Theme Club party on Friday and surprise, surprise Reggae at Glow on Saturday.
I’ll hit up a nice restaurant on Thursday for a new side project I’m working on and will make it to Soi Polo for their phenomenal garlic fried chicken and som tam on Saturday for lunch. Hopefully will have some time to get a haircut and hit up MBK for some odds and ends as well.
Anyone needing to reach me that’s located in Thailand, I’ll have my old number on this trip so give me a call.

PS - The shot above is mine for them from last November. Notice the raking of light across the top of the fabric to pull the green color out If you shoot something like this with direct flash the couch will appear almost black. It was an odd shoot, she wanted it to appear dark overall, but wanted the couch to show up lighter than it normally appears to the eye.
Hey all,
Shot what could very well be my last Glow Facebook party this past Saturday. Hopefully this isn’t my last party at Glow. I’d like to keep things open there and make it back from time to time when back in Thailand. We’ll see.
This party was fantastic. When Glow is on it’s really on. The bottom floor was packed and people were dancing. About halfway through the second DJ set they really turned a corner. They had been doing straight minimal techno, but then one of the MC’s from the Reggae parties showed up and did some freestyle on top of some more aggressive tracks. Really brought the energy of the place up.
These parties don’t happen much, but be sure and stop by around 12 or 12:30 the next time one is on for a treat.

After Bed it was off to Glow. I was hoping for more people, a surprise epic party…I was let down a bit. There weren’t that many peeople, which was too bad, the DJ was really good.
At least here people were dancing and things were actually decorated for Christmas. I had a great time even though there weren’t lots of peeople, one of Glow’s strengths. I can always have fun there because people actually dance there… usually.
Hey all,
It’s that time again. Another reggae party at Glow. This was, I think, the 15th party for this production team and I think the 6th I’ve photographed for them at Glow. At this point I know the people that are going to turn up, who’s going to bring a dressed up dog, and I’m even learning the songs.
I really love the reggae version of Country Roads Take Me Home
So for this one I tried to push the pictures a tiny bit more. I opted for extremely long exposures to really blur the lights and leave trails. These parties always have so much energy and I wanted to try and convey that in the pictures. This isn’t a Bed party, people aren’t standing around wanting to be seen… If you want to impress people at one of these parties you need to be dancing.
Hopefully they’ll continue on at Glow next year. If you’re feeling like you want to dance go check one out.

Got a call late on Sat from Jam to come to Glow for SENSHIMIX METRO Pt2. Was fun party all in all. Not many people so took the opportunity to photograph the staff a lot. Mini pics here or look for glow on their facebook page.
