A day of photography at Doi Intahnon

A group of 7 advanced photo shooters wanted some lessons in waterfall
photography so we loaded up a min-van and headed up to Doi Inthanon and
the Ma Ya waterfalls for the morning, studying the use of neutral
density and graduated neutral density filters along with polarizers to
balance out the tonal values of light and shadows. I usually don't take
groups larger than 3-4 but as these folks were all traveling together I
decided to break my traditions. After a good picnic lunch by the river,
we went to the Mae Klong falls for another orientation of the water
flow, then further up the mountain to the Karen village for some candid
people photography utilizing flash photography inside and around the
village and houses, and where we were invited in for dinner. I've been
photographing this village and the lovely folks in it for the past three
years and we've built up a nice report. It's a prosperous village as
they all work together as a co-op, and the village shows that spirit of
co-operation in everything they do. A good day was had by all. Doi
Inthanon is a beautiful venue for photography.

This post from Steve shows just how desperate things have become. Why else
would he have posted that message?

Last year, he was bragging about how well things were going and how he had
to turn business away. Now it seems he has to resort to more slimeball
tactics and spamming in order to drum up publicity. He's a scumbag and there
is no doubt his reputation as such goes before him. His bad name now will
deter all but the most wretched of poor mugs who fall for the scam.

One thing is for sure though, he won't be able to rip off the tourists for
much longer. He's now in trouble with the law for meddling in the affairs of
a Thai owned and operated business in Chiang Mai. Apparently sending a
number of obscene and abusive faxes to the owner of the business who filed a
complaint with the police.


A photo here shows Steve being interrogated by Thai police officers...

There are a number of variants to his explanation of this photo, each one
more more difficult to believe than the last.

LOL! To show everyone just how desperate you four have gotten, that you
would rip up an ordinary post just to get your names printed. What would
you do for a life if I wasn't around?

Last year, he was bragging about how well things were going and how he had
to turn business away.

It's even better this year, with more commercial accounts signing up for
production and brochure shoots.

One thing is for sure though, he won't be able to rip off the tourists for
much longer. He's now in trouble with the law

Actually, no trouble at all. In fact, it's the husband of the business
owner who is in trouble. After signing a police statement that he
wouldn't send me any more e-mail, the fool went and did it again!!

Apparently sending a number of obscene and abusive faxes

The most obscene was the square root of 3 carried out to one million
decimal points...

to the owner of the business who filed a
complaint with the police.

You forgot to add the fact that the police threw out the complaint as
baseless.

Well actually, the photo shows me presenting the police with three
different piles of e-mails and faxes sent to me by the husband of the
owner of the Thai owned business. That's why they threw out her
complaint.

Yes... the truth, and then all the others that the three of you have put
forward, and as you say, each one more more difficult to believe than
the last. But do keep trying. You are providing yourselves with a reason
not to jump off a balcony out of desperation for a life.

You STILL reading my posts then??? I thought you told us that you weren't
going to read them anymore?

As for demonstrating loyalty and paying homage to Kombat, I'll leave that to
you. )

Time I think to repost Kombat's anthem to help him as he trolls and spams
the newsgroups, in his desperate attempt to promote his sinking
'photography' business. *smirk*

"Trollin'!"
by The Ranger (© January 2000)

Trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin'
Trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin',
Rawhide!


Trollin', trollin', trollin', my thoughts are truly bloated
I keep 'em slow 'n sloggin', Rawhide.
Rain and wind and weather, hellbent for leather
Wishin' a brand was burnin' by my backside.
All those things I'm missin', good timin', logic and rhythm
All are waiting at the end of my ride.


Chorus:
Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, Rawhide!
Count 'em out, ride 'em in, ride 'em in, count 'em out
Count 'em out, ride 'em in, Rawhide!


Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
I keep 'em slow & sloggin', Rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope 'em, pull and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide
Our hearts calculatin' that one true love (an original thought)
'll be waitin' at the end of our ride


Chorus
Hyaa!
Trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin' (Hyaa!)
Trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin', trollin' (Hyaa!)
Rawhide! Rawhide!
