For the third day now, looks like I'm the only one who's posted here. Not good. As we discussed previously, many of us like the participants here: I also like the fact that there does not seem to be the the ethic of, "I'll 'like' your post if you 'like' mine." On the other hand there are fundamental things that should be fixed by John Miranda, like making posted links work correctly and having automatic place holders that bring the user to the last post read and having a preview facility when you're posting. As the link posting is exceedingly simple to fix, I don't see why after all these years this has not been fixed. I'm thinking it's time to go...

Please don't. Because I like your pictures and also because they make me want to go back to Bangkok and Chiang Mai

Agree pmeheut and I haven't been posting much becasue I haven't shot anything in a couple of weeks. Trying to stay in. So stick around Mitch. Enjoy your work. I haven't been in the far east in decades but your images take me back. I can almost smell the streets smells when I look at your work. This is still my favorite thread anywhere on the web. I have been going through a lot of old raw files that I never processed so I might have some stuff to post soon.

Please don't Mitch. I, for one, appreciate your posting. I have been busy trying to keep my business operating without public interaction so that I can continue to pay my staff...taking, processing and posting shots doesn't have priority right now. Looking at what you and others (hopefully) are posting is a nice break.

Mitch keep posting. It has been 5 week since I last shot with my Leica. My Leica lenses did get a workout a couple of weeks ago when I locked myself in my basement and tested every lens I had at every aperture with several different setups. Mind you all the tests were done with my Canon Ra.
Here a few from 5 weeks ago that I never posted

pmeheut / airfrogusmc / CVickery / burningheart – Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. The morning I wrote the post, as if the coronavirus situation wasn't enough, I got depressed reading in the press that photographer Peter Beard went missing on Tuesday from his house at Montauk Point on Long Island, NY. He is 82 and apparently suffers from dementia...Someone gave me his iconic book, The End of the Game in 1965, the year it was published. Lot more can be said, but I find this depressing. Despite a full police search around the Hamptons, he has still not been found.

Mitch, please stay. It should be clear from the responses—with which I wholeheartedly agree—that your contributions to the thread are highly valued. Should you decide to leave you will be sorely missed. But I guess the best way to respond (for those of us who are able during these troubling times) is to join you in posting pictures.
Sorry to hear about Peter Beard. Unfortunately I no longer have my copy of The End of the Game, which is a wonderful book.

genji - Thanks, mate.
Frustrating not to be able to photograph anything but my house and garden, not to speak of my book not having any sales since the advent of the plague. Having been presented during Paris Photo in early November, it will need some form of re-launch. I was hoping to get on some photo book competition shortlists to stimulate sales, but the Arles Book Award has not announced a submission date, although the Arles Luma Dummy Award has. Wouldn’t surprise if most of the photo book competitions were canceled. Basically, I believe in the book, not only as something of interest on its own but also for the effect it could have on other photographers and publishers, something that one can see from its structure, as shown in the flip-through video on the book's website.
Also, I had formulated a point of departure for my next project as I posted earlier, based on the Moriyma concept of light and shadow moving away from the realm of words, which resonates with Roland Barthes’ ideas in Empire of Signs: that meaning can be transmitted without words, without description, without explication — combined with Nozolino’s going to the essence of darkness. Being able to photograph only the immediate surroundings of my house can’t take me far: the most I can do is to reprocess earlier images with increased contrast and darkness; but I cannot advance in the ideas I've formulated: that required new images.
