Here Lies an Untold Story

Here Lies an Untold Story
May 2005 on Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand

A book that may have been sitting on someone�s bookshelf...or in someone�s hands. A swimsuit that may have been on her body...or in a tourist shop...or in her room in a suitcase�ready to be unpacked or just packed up. A piece of tile that may have been in a hotel...or a guesthouse...or on a discarded heap of rubble at a construction site. Coconut fronds that may have fallen naturally before or after the tsunami...or perhaps were part of a tree that was toppled (and many trees were toppled like dominoes) under the force of the waves.

The possible stories are without end and most will never be told. This was but the edge of one pile of debris down one little side street in one community that directly felt the power of the tsunami on December 26, 2004�and will continue to be reminded of the untold stories for years to come.

* 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.]
