Seascapes in Thai!
Was inspired by my new art book and did some seascapes with the Blad digi today. I will try to make some Platinum and Palladium and or Salt prints with the files, when I return to the land of snow snd hockey!!
Quite a different working experience than the slum/drug/poverty and families/dump picture making worlds. To be honest I prefer being with my friends. I am not a fan of the fakeness of the tourist world. I would rather be with real people, in the real world.

Manet Book of Inspiring Seascape Painting!
I never buy art books in Thailand but today I did! Only $11.48 CAD for a large, wonderful, well orinted book of seascaoes by Edouard Manet and other artists.
I am hoping this work will be an inspiration for some large seascape ambrotypes I am planning for th AMBROTOS KANATA wetplate photography project.
T-Shirts to Raise Donation Money, to Help the People in the Photos
The T-Shirts turned out better than I hoped. I will get a variety of sizes with this picture. “Burmese Mother with two babies” from the families of the dump series. Hopefully I can sell some of these to help the people at the dump and under the freeway.
I feel the white T-Shirt shows the picture better (like a matted print) but the black looks more classy.

My Platinum Print Hopes for THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY
The beauty of a Platinum-Palladium print.
Khun Nit, telling me he wants to die, THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE UNDER THE FREEWAY, KhlongToeii Slum Bangkok, Thailand 2025.
Note Khun Nit died soon after the making of this photograph.
Note** I want to do an exhibition of THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY in Platinum, Palladium or Salt prints and hand made wooden frames.
Will Design a THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY Book
Will use the Blurb BookWrite software to design a book around THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY project.
Not so much to print it in Blurb (low quality) but instead to have both a hard copy version and a PDF copy of the books content and design for future submission possibilities.
Recently I have come across a few book submission calls asking for a copy of your book but I have nothing to submit. If I do this I will have something to send them!!
Who knows I might finally get a book published with the help of a grant of some kind. A book would help the subjects in many ways.
Playing around today with a possible front and back cover. Will go with a cheaper soft cover and smaller size of 8x10 inches to save money. Probably do 50 pages or so.

Dreaming of Dad, Again!
Love lives forever.
Pancreatic cancer took dad from us. I dreamed of him today in Thailand and we lost him over 10 years ago in Thailand. He still lives for me, not only in my dreams, but in countless other ways.

These pictures were made on the night of June 26th under available light at an iso of 25600 with the blad medium format digi camera.Almost impossible shooting conditions. I also shot in the same place with no external light sources using the flashlight from my iPhone.

T-shirts for Donations!
Will get 2 samples made up of this T-shirt design. 1 black, 1 white. Photo “Mother with Two Babies” made this trip, THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP.
Thinking I could sell them on the website or at exhibitions/talks, to help the people at the “dump” and “under the freeway”.
