So we're inwards the oculus of the 2014 Phuket Thailand Vegetarian Festival, I stimulate got been sticking to "the diet" since September 23rd together with stimulate got managed to observe the fourth dimension together with attempt to catch a few shrines for festival events. Maybe my enthusiasm for the festival is non what it was, together with (without going into to many details) it's been a difficult yoke of months. I stimulate got spent five weeks inwards England inwards two sort out visits, the 2nd fourth dimension arriving solely a yoke of days before Mum passed away. And my Dad at nowadays has dementia, addition he barbarous over together with broke his hip a yoke of days later on Mum died. Not the easiest time. Got dorsum hither to Phuket Thailand simply 10 days before the festival started together with at i time dorsum to work, so I stimulate got been a picayune tired. One of my principal motivations over the final few years has been photography, trying to larn meliorate photos of the vegetarian festival, but before this yr I sold my photographic boob tube camera together with stimulate got been solely using an iPhone for quite a few months now! Well I picked upwardly my Dad's former Panasonic Lumix G1 from England, it's a fleck of an former camera, but I stimulate got been trying it out this week.
September 23rd the festival began inwards the even out amongst the raising of the Go Teng pole at the shrines or so the island, the pole is where the gods are said to descend into the shrines. I was working so missed the ceremony this year, but you lot tin lav encounter photos from 2011 Phuket Thailand-vegetarian-festival-2011-part-1">here. I did become to Kathu shrine (my local) inwards the even out to snap a few photos together with so into Phuket Thailand Town to larn some food.

Normally I due east whatever I experience like, including lots of amount together with I potable enough of beer. So sticking to the alcohol-free vegan diet for nine days is quite a challenge.

I intend 6am is a meliorate fourth dimension if you lot desire to encounter what goes on at the shrine inwards the morn of a street procession.

It was packed together with my get-go sentiment within the shrine showed that it mightiness last difficult to larn a photo, amongst a business of backpack-wearing "pro" photographers taking upwardly much of the space. I observe some of these photographers rather pushy together with slightly disrespectful - all that matters is the photo. They shove cameras to within inches of pierced faces together with stimulate got no qualms almost getting inwards the vogue of obvious amateurs similar myself!
