15 Jan Getting Better

It was a bit of a shock to learn that our good friend and Penang legend, Kim Gooi was taken to the General Hospital on Tuesday and remains under observation. On New Year’s Day we told him he was burning the candle at both ends – blowing his harmonica in blues jam sessions at Soundmaker Studio, Weld Quay Road, Penang. way past midnight and then conducting his tai chi classes in the cool morning air. Anyway, we wish you all the best for a speedy recovery – and here post a couple of the striking images from Thailand and Burma that helped make Kim one of the leading photojournalists of his day. The phoenix will arise!
