Ask and you shall receive. A year ago I asked Oldflames, my trusty hook-up for the soft stuff, if he happened to have a color photo of Bai Guang in a bikini. And lo and behold, look what arrived in my email this week: some potent solar mojo to dispel the gloomy fog that's been blanketing the Bay Area ever since my return from the torrid zone two weeks ago.
Here comes the sun... here comes the sun... and I say... it's all right...
For those of you who are interested, here are photos from both of my trips this year. Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur are definitely not as devoid of people as my pictures might suggest, but I'm not as bold a photographer as I once was. So even though these photos don't capture the urban verve of these two cities, I hope they at least give you a taste of their unique charms.
