Asia Trip 012 - Film from the First Four Months - 003

Nick Hogan May 16, 2019

I recently was in Bali and got three rolls of film developed from the past four months of traveling. These little babies have made it through seven countries, tropical rain storms, countless bus rides, and a silly amount of immigration and security checkpoints. Having all three of these rolls in tact is nothing short of a god damn Christmas miracle.

This roll has shots from working in Thailand for two months, wandering around Koh Phangan, and adventuring with Cate throughout Koh Phangan, Krabi, Koh Lanta, and Koh Phi Phi.

This roll has shots from the second half of my time in Vietnam; living on a little island with no roads, cars and barely electricity in Cambodia; waking up at 4am to go wander around Angkor Wat and my first few days of living in Koh Phangan in Thailand.

So I’ve been traveling a lot lately and quite a bit has happened in the past month. I finished bar tending at my hostel in Thailand, Cate came to see me and we traveled all around Thailand for two weeks, I went to Malaysia and now am in Singapore waiting to leave for Jakarta and Indonesia in about two days. Currently scheming how to find a job in Bali and live there for a month or two.

Asia Trip - Teaching Myself Double Exposures in Photoshop - 001

So when it is not the Full Moon week here in Koh Phangan, the island is sort of a ghost town which is incredible in one way, but my shifts are very uneventful. So I’ve always wanted to learn to be able to do really cool shit in Photoshop and during my shifts at the hostel I’ve been teaching myself to do double exposures and other cool shit.

After watching a plethora of YouTube videos and rummaging through tons of Adobe tutorials this is what I have got so far. I have loved messing around in Photoshop, it’s pretty daunting at first and I think it’s like learning a new language. It’s intimidating and overwhelming at first, you need to learn the basics and then you can make jazz. Or make sentences. Or create cool things. Anyways here is what I have got so far.

So as of today, I’ve been living on the island for a little over three weeks although it feels at least twice as long. Over the past weeks, I have been adapting to island life quite well. It’s a slower pace of life, one filled with a sense of general malaise and to never rush because you really have nowhere to go. It’s a simpler and slowed version of life, one that makes all the days blend together.
