Considering that the average Thai person's salary is about 7000 baht per month, (USD$220), and that's probably a little on the high side, then you could see that any 'extras' would help a LOT.
So, my thought was that what downloads I get through this site, can be used for contributions (random acts of kindness :) to Thai people that I come across in my photo travels here.
I know that for this to work you'll need to trust that I will actually follow through and 'give out' to Thai people I meet.
About that all I can say is take a look at the passion and quality of my work and you'll see that I am constantly focused on creating moments of originality and fascination.
I think you'll be aware also that there's 'love and care' in my photography. I do find myself in adventures often. That tends to bring me closer to people who I feel would appreciate an extra helping hand.
Obviously, I can't contribute to everyone I meet. You'll have to trust me on my instincts as to who to give to, and who not to give to.
The main thing is that the thought is focused on giving, and we all win. At the end of the day you get a great, original downloadable photo, and the pleasant feeling of giving to Thai people - one of the kindest and friendliest countries I have ever experienced.
So, what do you think? A good idea, or what? :)
By the way, here's some other stuff you should know.
• My photography is represented by Melbourne's National Gallery of Victoria (collection, Australia)
• My signature and current date will be embedded into the photographic print...
Read this for some 'inside gossip'...
Way over there in Australia, deep within a little historic city called Melbourne, there's a small gallery that goes by the name of 'The National Gallery Of Victoria'...
Around 1993 this little gallery purchased one of my black and white photographs for a small contemporary photography collection, published this in a catalogue, and ran an exhibition along side the whole thing too.
But no big deal, right...
Surely nothing to write home about. But... for those who prefer the finer details, it does mean that ANY image you download from my gallery, could 'potentially' have some 'investment' value in it...
Well, just thought I'd let you know about that little piece of news...
By the way, The National Gallery of Victoria is an art gallery and museum in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 1861, it is the oldest and the largest public art gallery in Australia. :)
And the bottom line is that you can not only get an original photographic work, but also contribute in a positive way to Thai society...

One Great Opportunity To Participate In Random Acts
Of Kindness, And At The Same Time, Get To
Appreciate Beautiful Fine Art
Photography...
In
Order To Receive, First You Must
Give
Dear art enthusiast,
If you have ever imagined yourself collecting fine
art photography or investing in fine art, but have
been put off by the expense, let me open your mind
to a new approach...
Actually, it is something rather different.
Let me explain.
Simply put, I live in far
South West Thailand,
and am often out there photographing the amazing
Thai lifestyle. Go to my new
digital photo
gallery
to get a glimpse of what images I create.
Below
you'll see a beautiful Thai cow and friend. That's
just a small sample of my many and varied Thai
experiences, caught on film (or digital to be
exact). :)
Anyway,
after thinking about it... it occurred to me
that
one good way to give back to this society is by
contributing to the Thai people
as much as possible...
So, in a nutshell this whole idea is probably about
trust. And also about you getting a great,
fine art downloadable photo
of your choice for a very small contribution.
How much? Only USD$10.00 per photo download. :)
