Apple has this ability to look a bit different, every time I photograph her. She has lead a rather tragic life. She is 38 with 4 children who live in Burriram Thailand with her mother. Apple is a former bargirl from Pattaya who worked both as a gogo dancer and as a freelancer on walking street. Now she scratches out a living in Bangkok, and smokes Meth daily. I would be surprised if on my next visit to Thailand, she was still alive.
I will print some of these photographs in Platinum/Palladium for exhibition in hand made wooden frames. I want to tell her story to as many people as I can. Any money raised of course goes directly back to help Apple and the other people in this series.
