Self Portrait: Bangkok, Thailand
.
.
Ever since my brother gave me my first camera just before my first major overseas adventure (a very long, long time ago), I have loved travelling and loved taking pictures.
It’s only recently, however, that I’ve been able to really indulge my passion for both. Living in Bangkok has given me opportunities I’ve not had before, and I’m loving every minute of it!

About my
Weekly
Wanderings:
Once upon a time, people wrote letters to their family, friends and colleagues when they had something to say. They sent greeting cards on special occasions and postcards when they traveled. In this age of electronic media, the form of these interactions has changed significantly, while the purpose remains the same: to communicate thoughts, feelings, ideas and impressions.

There is, however, a steep learning curve: even though old dogs CAN learn new tricks it can take longer. I’m new to this Blogging stuff, so I’m not quite sure how it will all take shape. I hope to add new things weekly, and when time permits, to return to older digital images and stories, and possibly even dig out some film… Remember film?
So, lets see how it all goes. I hope you enjoy my Weekly Wanderings.
A Word about Copyright:
Self Portrait ~ Q-House, Lumpini, Bangkok
It shouldn’t have to be said, should it? Photos on this site are mine and are copyright stamped by me, unless clearly stated otherwise (Every so often, my husband gets a shot that I really wish I had taken. If I post one of those, I’ll tell you.)
If you want a picture for personal use on another private, non-comercial site, you are welcome to it, IF:
1) You tell me! and,
2) You include on your site a clear link back to the source (i.e., me).
Self Portrait ~ Jaipur, India

If you want photos for printing or for a commercial site (and I include NGOs and Not-for-Profits here, as they still make more money than I do!), then ASK me. If you try to print from the uploaded .jpegs, you will notice they are very low resolution, rather than the mega-files I have on my computer.
Copyright infringement is THEFT and is bad karma.
‘Nuf said!

Hi Ursula,
If you are ever in Phuket drop by and say hello! It would be great to meet you.
Dawn, Bon Island, Phuket
Hi Dawn,
Thanks so much for stopping by! We usually end on the other of Phuket when we manage to get down there, but Bon Island looks fascinating – it would be great to visit one day.
I am a freelancer doing an article for Washingtonian Magazine about Shepherdstown West Virginia and love one of your photos. What do you charge for magazine use? You will be credited, of course.

Hi Ann,
I’m glad to hear you like my pictures. I’ve emailed you.
Cheers, Ursula
Hi Ursula,
Love your photos and the topics you touch and document. I’m about to start freelancing next year and thus would have questions for you. I’d appreciate if you could drop me a line so I could ask a few questions via email, if you don’t mind.
Best regards and thanks in advance!

Hi Zsolt,
Thanks for your visit. I’ve emailed you.
My husband is also Hungarian – small world, isn’t it?
Hi Ursula! I live in Bangkok and maintain a blog to keep our family and friends back home in the US up to date on our activities in Thailand. It is nothing major – I have no advertisers, sponsors, etc.
We just returned from a visit to Cha-Am and I am writing a post about the salt farms that we saw on the drive. I did manage to take some photos but they are nowhere near as nice as yours and there was no activity in the fields on the days we passed by. I would like to ask if I can add a few of your photos to my blog? Most likely, I would use the photos with the salt piles and the tools used. Obviously, I will credit you for those photos. Enjoy Australia – we lived for three years in the very outback of Alice Springs. The Aussies are lovely people and we had such a fantastic time there.
Many thanks. Kristen
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for checking out my PhotoBlog.
I’m happy for you to use some photos as you described; just link them back to their source and send me a copy of the link. Ta!
Enjoy Bangkok – it’s a great place to live.
Cheers, Ursula
Hi Ursula! What a great site you have…
I love your photos and never knew your hidden
talent. Steve and I leaving for Phuket for a week
in July. Can’t wait to go now…
Do you think we need any vaccines; we are only staying
a week in a hotel but will be eating local foods
at night, I guess
Cheers, Mara
Hi Mara,
Glad you could “visit” my site.
While people can have shellfish problems anywhere in the world, we’ve almost NEVER had problems with Thai food. As long as you love spice, you will be ok!
I’ve emailed you. U
