Sojourner to Stoner: The Journal" is my record of Southeast Asia in the 1970s. I spent over a year as an officer in the U.S. Army in South Korea and close to two years travelling throughout Asia, first as a backpacker and later as a Hippie (yippee-ki-yay or more appropriately, hippie-ki-yay). This Journal (YING) is a companion piece to my photography books surprisingly also called "Sojourner to Stoner. The Photographs" (YANG) (You must buy the two books together: otherwise. the Universe will be out of balance and there will be chaos everywhere. or as Bill Murray quipped, "Cats and Dogs sleeping together"). I have documented a time, the 1970s, before the all-pervading Western culture (sex, drugs, and rock and roll in Levi's} and The Economic Miracle changed Asia irrevocably, The book is written from a traveler (Sojourner for Stupids) and a stoner (Don't Bogart that Bong) Perspective.
