Beautiful and colorful gallery.

They are fabulous, in fact, fortunately, the have not changed much. Only too many tourists around... V
Andrew Bott23-Mar-2010 06:56
Great stuff. My inital reaction was 'wow, it's amazing how little they've changed'. But of course they haven't; they're probably hundreds of years old.

Stunning gallery - very enjoyable to see

I love these photos made some 40+ years ago! The things look quite similar to what we can see today, but I have a perception there is a big difference in the overall atmosphere! One is obvious: Thailand was not "polluted" by tourists four decades ago... Many thanks, Tom! Enjoyed and voted!

You've done an excellent job of converting these old photos to digital. All the color and clarity shines through. Your instinctive eye for composition is also evident.

Great collection Tom. Really!
Steve Highfield06-Dec-2007 23:28
A delight to see 'real' photography from the 60's.
Tom, you had the eye for excellent composition then, and still have it now.
Subject composition, timing, aperture / exposure -- need I say more !
Plenty of lessons to be learned from these shots for photographers of 'all' levels.
Excellent collection. +V

Very colored Gallery and in 1966 when you was a little boy...yet you are a great photographer.All the pictures are just for the composition,the choice the lighting,the harmony of the colors,and when you say forgive the quality I think that add a touch of life,V

How cool to see this magnificent place (I've been there in 2003) such a long time ago. I can imagine that there were much less tourists back than. Very good job and thanks for posting!

great gallery .. after scanning my old pics from Nepal and india I know what you went through ! Liked your other 60s galleries from vietnam and hongkong, do you have more pics of BKK ? The temples have n't changed much, but the rest of the city certainly has !
Guest 01-Nov-2007 09:57

Very nice scanned images especially 1966 circa.
This gallery is all about the artwork of these structures, must have been time consuming to finish these projects.
Very interesting gallery .
Guest 28-Oct-2007 23:30
Such a vibrant and interesting gallery! (Miriam)
Guest 28-Oct-2007 23:23

Guest 28-Oct-2007 18:18
Tom, you really have done well with these scans. I am amazed by the details and color you managed to bring out. On top, you have choosen some very interesting images.

It's very moving to see these expressions of belief. Your photos convey the passion expressed in the materials, colors and textures. It's a splendid collection.
