In the year 2009, I was contacted by a friend of mine who also happens to be a jazz singer performer who was in need of a vacation; she offered me the possibility to sit in for her at the World-Famous Bamboo Bar, a jazz club at the Mandarin Hotel, in Bangkok, Thailand. I set the wheels in motion. I found myself on a plane heading toward my destination. The journey from Jacksonville, Florida, to New York City, LA, then over the Pacific Ocean on my new adventure to another world was incredible and exciting.

The contract at the Bamboo Jazz club lasted for four months. The gig was in the evening, which gave me some free time during the day. I became very much involved with the Thai people and their culture. It became my habit to take my camera wherever I went using an OLYMPUS OM-D’E-M10 Digital Camera.
