There’s always a million reasons why not to travel. And there always will be…

The time has come for this year’s Raddest Photo Trip Ever — December 6th through the 19th. I am soooo extremely excited to jump on a plane with another awesome group of photographers!!! Most importantly, I can’t wait to show those who come along why Thailand and Cambodia are two of my favorite places on the globe. The ruins of Cambodia. The islands of Thailand. Washing elephants in the rivers of Kanchanaburi. Playing with wild monkeys. The most beautiful waterfalls on earth. Deelish Thai food. Incredible local people. And, obviously, a great photographic experience! Thailand and Cambodia are both such incredibly unique places — and I can’t wait to show another group of people the trip of a lifetime!!!

Here’s last year’s blog posts on the trip — and here’s the trip on video — shot all on the 5D Mark II with the Steadicam Merlin at parts — totally worth the watch, imo ;)

link for feedreaders/FB’ers

I’ll be taking at most 12 people — but might take as few as 8 — and it’s $3250 per person for the entire two weeks (discount available for couples). So if you’re wanting to come, let’s do this! Email me at info@bobbyearle.com with the subject line being “RPTE 2010” and I’ll email you back with all the info.

——————–

Now onto the Shootsac giveaway –leave a comment below and I’ll choose one commenter at random :) As you all probably know, I freaking love my Shootsac — so this is an amazing giveaway! Thanks so much to Jessica for the giveaway. I’ll pick a winner over the weekend. Good luck!!!

I’ll leave with some of my favorite images from our last trip to Thailand and Cambodia…

Can’t wait to meet those of you who are coming along!!!

On a photography note .. your photos are stunning. My favourite one is the gopher-like critter popping out of the pail.

Nick Simcheck - It's TRUE! Booby Curl carries his Shootsac everywhere he goes! It's like the ultimate man purse, or Murse as I prefer to call it. In fact it's a little known secret that I made my first Murse (exactly like the Shootsac) many years ago, however I never shared that information with ANYONE for fear of gender persecution. Now that the Murse has gained popularity (thanks to men more daring than I) people like Booby are comfortable lugging it around the world! Kudos to you, Mr. Booby Curl!July 14, 2010 - 10:49 am

AbiQ - Can I get another shoot sac for my hubby? Pretty please!!!July 14, 2010 - 10:52 am
