Call Forth The Moon



Call Forth The Moon
April 2005 at the Angkor temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia

This was my last day at the temples of Angkor. I spent the last hours of daylight taking a few pictures of the sunset from the heights of this temple. As I explored the temple grounds, during twilight, the depths of evening were soon upon me. I glanced up--the rising moon caught my eye and the intense blues and purples of the early evening sky held my attention. I knew I had to capture that shot. I had three exposures left on the roll and no additional rolls of film. This was the last of the three shots. Just as the temple lion seems to call forth the rising moon, so too these temples have cast their ancient spell over me.

* Half of the profit will be donated to assist with ongoing tsunami relief efforts in Thailand.

The profit will be determined by taking the overall proceeds from the sales and subtracting the expenses for film processing and framing the images for the shows. The funds will be provided to specific individuals I met on my trip (not organizations) who are still in the Thailand area helping with recovery projects. The individuals receiving the funds are charged with finding locals in need of the funds and dispensing them accordingly for relief projects. [For example, contributions I personally provided to one of these individuals went to paying for school tuition for the daughter of one of the shopkeepers whose store was destroyed in the tsunami. Other such private donations have bought engines for fishing boats, books to replace those lost in the tsunami, etc. My personal experience while in Thailand was the funds being doled out by volunteers who had direct exposure to individuals, in the communities hardest hit by the tsumani, were those funds being best allocated. The volunteers would accompany the tsunami survivor to pay the school fees to the school directly or to buy the engine directly instead of money being handed out.]
