Thanks Tracey,
I feel a little guilty that I haven't blogged in a very long time, but I do still keep shooting. If you're ever bored, hop on over to http://sitt.photoshelter.com.

Took this long........ Stumbled upon your blog, many years after your experience. But great blog! I like the humor in your blog. And yes, great photos too.
Hey thanks Leigh, most of these were shot with a Canon 10D DLSR. But I have a 5D now muahahaha (no that does not mean "mug me please") and I am leaving next week for another bash in SEA, bring on ye gibbons!
I want to go back! Hey thanks for the comment on my blog. Prompted me to check your blogs and live vicariously. I loved Laos too and plan to go back in '07. This time I'm gonna bloody well do the gibbon experience!! Anyhow your blog is great and you make me laugh. Some of your photo captions are hilarious! Would love to know what sort of camera you are using. Your photos are amazing (obviously you're a good photographer, I don't assume it is all thanks to superb equipment). Happy travels!
Dear stickyrice Someday my grandchildren will ask me, "Grandma, were you ever a hero?" And I will say "No, but I posted on the internet with heroes". God bless you, stickyrice!
Wow - you know your cameras! Respect. The DSLR's sound great, but they seem (a) a touch bulky, and (b) way way out of my meagre price range. One can dream though... Thanks again for your detailed reply, keep taking awesome photos, and if you get bored, I also have a (relatively inferior) blog, at http://stuartmooney.i3log.com (and please turn a blind eye to my obviously amatuerish and substandard photos!).
No worries. The Canon 10D is a digital SLR. It has long been superseded by the 20D and now the 30D (~AUD 2100), but all the Canon DSLRs have fantastic image quality. The cheapest is the small and light 350D which costs about AUD 1200 and would probably make a pretty good travel cam, methinks. The Nikon D70s and Nikon D200 look pretty good actually, but I would probably lean towards the Canon gear as Canon's images seem to have less noise in low light, which is important for me. I do like the Nikon D200's colour expression though. Carrying a DSLR while you're travelling certainly isn't for everyone (it's a pain). Something like the recently announced Canon S3 IS would probably do the trick for most people but I crave control in my photos and they do mean a lot to me (especially when I'm back in the real world). Thanks for the interest, hope it helps, and sorry to hear about you camera's fate.
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I know nothing about cameras; is a 10D digital? If not, how did you get the pics onto your site? And I know it is rude to ask, but around how much does one cost? Are they still being made?
Also, sorry about your camera. If it is any consolation, at least the thief had good taste; take it as a compliment :) (I travelled last year and my brand new digital camera worth 700AUDs was also stolen).
Hey, thanks! (and thx Merryn)I took a Canon 10D on this trip, which was subsequently stolen along with the rest of my kit when I got back to Canberra (you b$@*^s!!!) Saving up for a Canon 5D now...
Solid photos Hey - a mutual friend (Merryn) recommended that I come here. Excellent pics.
May I ask: what camera do you use? The quality is incredible.
Thanks.
