I wanted to do this so much while i lived in Thailand and I made my self that busy i never had the time to do it.

We moved back to the UK and my self and Puang planned on city visited with all our gear and then into Europe.

But we have changed our plans now and for the better as the little one will be with us towards the end of this year.

So now we are thinking of using our gear to take loads of shots with the baby growing up and visiting places in the UK

Im going to follow this blog with interest... 👍🏻

when I came to Thailand TO LIVE all I brought with me was four duffel bags full of clothes, a laptop, iPhone, iPad, Luminox 3000 watch and a Canon Power Shot SX50 with 50X optical zoom. A very simple camera with one amazing feature, its incredibly powerful but compact zoom lens. No tripod and only a shoulder strap, battery charger, and a very small carrying case. 

I was a professional editor working in Hollywood and owned two Sony Cinema Pro cameras worth $150,000 each. I got to travel a lot using those cameras and I worked for a very long time so I was very burned out on shooting. But taking a simple photo on my phone is still my favorite way of expressing myself.

After I retired I did not want to be controlled by my possessions including about $15,000 worth of Ham radio gear which is so much tech your can't believe it. Much of it surplus military radios. Most of that gear is restricted in Thailand. 

So I sold EVERYTHING I owned in the USA which was a long and interesting process.

I promised myself I would not buy anymore stuff, instead i was going to have many experiences and cameras, photos and media was secondary to that. Anyway after four years of not having so much as a TV or Netflix or anything like that in Thailand I slowing started buying things again. A horrible habit.

I travel a lot all over Thailand and if it does not fit into my medium size backpack it is not going.

Interesting thread to read, even personally I am definitively not a gear freak.
