my trip just doesn't seem complete without sharing written accounts of all that happened after flying outta laos. that being said, i'm gonna do my best to add what i can to the site. i have over 2,000 pictures to go through, not to mention 6 weeks of neglected mail, weeds, laundry and bill collectors to tend to.
cambodia was the next destination for me, but before i cover that fantastic nightmare of a country, i thought i'd share a photo of one of the more memorable parts of my trip: crossing the equator. sure, for most people, this is no big deal. but, shutterbug that i am, i managed to snap a photo of the rare and elusive line that separates our hemispheres.
behold:
the equator almost never shows up on camera. in fact, most "images" of it are actually illustrations on maps and globes. it sometimes appears as a dotted line, but in rare cases, such as the one above, it can be solid. so how did i manage to photograph such a hard-to-spot line in the middle of the ocean? maybe i was lucky, maybe i have a sharp eye, or maybe i just tweaked the image around on microsoft paint. who's to say?
for now, i'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for the even more elusive, oceanic land of rand mcnally.
