Got To Make More Free Photos

The free photos I gave away this trip were a hit. I have several photos now posted up at the gym. The ones I gave to people in the slum homes were also appreciated. I need to make up more gift photos in the coming months, I can give away these photos later when I return to Thailand.

I also have to work on my Thai people photo album, I need to make a photo album of at least 10 portraits than I can use to show people before I photograph them (sort of a sample book of what I am doing). I only had 3 different subjects to show this trip, next trip I need to show a variety of faces in a variety of poses, situations. If I can show people the work before I photograph them they might be more into posing.

Only one person this trip refused to have their photo taken. With a better, softer, politer approach I could have probably gotten permission from this man as well (a homeless man eating on the dirt along the canal). I have to create a nice photo album book to show people, work on my approach with strangers and work on being as polite and soft as I can with my subjects.
