The Other Side of Beauty: Yellow I



The Other Side of Beauty: Yellow I
April 2005 in Khao Lak, Thailand

The mountains of Khao Lak stand in the background. As if a marker, a broken slab of concrete with a piece of tile still attached rests on the sandy, rubble-strewn terrain. Pieces of what had once been Khao Lak, in its commercial splendor, are pervasive on the coast. Among those pieces, as if a connecting thread, are reminders of nature’s presence. Plant life emerges, as part of the new shape of this coastal community, just as Khao Lak is in the process of re-emerging.

* 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.]
