Diane Snider Photos

If these street market stalls don't have what you need, maybe you'll find it in the handy convenience store there.

Mornings are generally the best time for market photos but by all means, just go and shoot later in the day if that's what fits your schedule better.

It would be great if I could open the window on this bus so I could get clear shots but no luck.

Well, the bus lurched on this photo but that's okay - the color is still bright.

Space is at a premium on the city streets in central Bangkok, Thailand just as it is in all major cities around the world.

No sand here but beach-type umbrellas are extremely important as even in February the temperature is already in the mid-nineties farenheit. The shade under the umbrellas is most welcome indeed.

So your vehicle lurched - be it bus or tuk-tuk - and your photo isn't as clear as you expected. Just sit back, smile, and remember the fun you had on that ride and how glad you are to have that fuzzy photo instead of no photo.

Somehow the time got away from you and suddenly you have only an hour or so left. What to do? Hop on a public bus - they are very inexpensive - and just ride out your time. Or you could take a tuk-tuk instead at more cost. What's a tuk-tuk?
