December Commemorative Exhibits
Two local coffee houses to observe the one year commemoration of the tsunami's impact will have many of the images in this website on display for the entire month of December 2005. The exhibition titled Varied Frames of Reference is a photographic commemoration of Khao Lak and Ko Phi Phi—two areas in Thailand forever changed by the tsunami on December 26, 2004.
Also included are pictures of Cambodia’s ancient temple complex: Angkor.
Raising awareness is key to assisting the people living in the affected areas of Thailand. Beyond awareness, resources are another critical component as it will take years to rebuild. I hope this site serves to raise awareness and to further assist by raising funds from the limited edition series of images that are sold. Half of the profit* will be donated to assist with ongoing tsunami relief efforts in Thailand.
I thank both exhibition spaces in advance for being open to helping me share my perceptions of Thailand in the wake of the tsunami and Cambodia's Angkor in its ancient splendor. The two coffee houses are:

CANCELED - Starbucks - Parkside, Glen Allen, VA, 23060 (This show was canceled in late November by Starbucks based on the decision from the district manager, Diana Kelly, to only have Starbucks materials on the walls--not the work of local artists.)

You made this an even more joyful experience for me. A very special thank you to my friends who were able to make it to the opening, either in body or in spirit."

* 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.]
