Thai Culture

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Australia | Sunday, October 30, 2011 | 5 photos

I had to leave school early and get a job to help support my family. I opened the newspaper not knowing what to do for work and applied for the first job listed; "butcher". I have been butchering for six days a week for around 30 years. My passion is photography. My skills are mainly self taught. I love to photograph motorcycle racing as I love to capture the detail of a bike travelling at 300 km p/hour, meat carcass' for a local artist to paint, my dog, anything really! These photos were taken on my honeymoon to Thailand in 2009. We explored many remote areas where the traditional culture is very rich, though can be noted is often blended with more modern day culture such as with the boy trying on his make-up.
