In This Place...
April 2005 in Khao Lak, Thailand

Walking up the beach three towering trees caught my eye. I veered my path and crossed diagonally up the sandy incline toward them. As I neared them, I caught sight of sunlight reflecting off plastic. At first, I assumed debris that had been washed ashore in the tsunami, but I soon realized what I saw was not debris. Deliberately, three dried bouquets of flowers were placed on the ground near the base of the trees. A bouquet of fresh cut flowers, as a marker honoring the place where a body of a tsunami victim came to rest, was placed along the beachfront months earlier. Here, in this place, within the reach of my arms were three such markers.

* 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.]
