Title: Phang Nga - Thailand
Date: 2019
Description: This is Yai Jem, a Thai grandma who inspired me in many ways. Despite losing much of her and her husbands belongings in a tsunami in 2004, she was constantly making sure I was fed, OK, happy, whatever I needed she made sure I had three. I felt the love she had to share with those around her, she did this for everyone, she made sure everyone had their food before she helped herself.

Title: Koh Phi Phi Leh, Thailand
Date: 2019
Description: This was taken one day when our host mom took us out in the water to gather sea urchins for dinner. I really enjoy this photo especially since I was in a hurry to take it as my camera had no life to it. When I went back to look at the photo, I was very happy to see this moment frozen in time. It reminds me of warm sea air, the perfect breeze, and a happy and full heart.

Title: Phang Nga
Date: 2019-02-09
Description: This photo was taken while I was discussing with these men how modern fishing practices has greatly affect the Moklen culture and their consumerism. They spend 5 hours in the heat of the day making replacement squid traps because others are ran over by big vessels or stolen by smaller fishing boats. This is a time consuming job that take focus away from other traditions that are also being affected by globalization.

Title: "Karen Tribe" - Thailand
Date: 2019-07-15
Description: This moment took place while I was in the hill tribe village. I was completely mesmerized by this woman - her traditional beads, her head covering (which I learned stems from ancient Burmese traditions, as this village is very near to Burma), her traditional handwoven dress... It is inspiring to see how simply others live. It is inspiring to see the community that exists in these areas. What a privilege!
