Possible Major Project


Soldier by August Sander

A project has been in the back of my mind for years now. The idea to create a great body of portraiture dealing with all aspects of Thai society.

-Monks
-Govt Officials
-Farmers
-Military People
-Fishermen
-Street Sellers
-Office People
-Police
-Doctors
-Teachers
-Students
-Unemployed
-Elderly/Retired
-Cab/Tuk Tuk Drivers
-Sex Workers
-Homeless People/ Beggars

Basically the idea would be to do a series of portraits of people from all aspects and levels of Thailand. The work would follow in the tradition of the greatest portrait photographer of all time August Sander. I will continue to give thought to this idea, maybe this coming trip to Thailand and I can make a initial stab at it and see where it leads.
