6+ Months To Work On "Common Lives" ???

I need to pay off a debt and also save money for a longer trip to work on the "Common Lives" project, my goal is to put together enough money to have at least a 6 month trip devoted to the project. It would be so wonderful to have the opportunity to make photos for 6+ months in Cambodia and Thailand. I need to make sacrifices (a second job?), so that later I will have the freedom to pursue my photography. I also plan to apply for art grants from the province, but think thats probably a long shot at best.

Wish I had enough money to just totally devote myself to photography 24/7 but thats only a dream.  I need to buckle down, work hard, save money and then I can make photographs!
