Is my life only worth 3 Thai Baht. Walking through the markets in Thailand you see all kinds of things, and all kinds of people. This young child opened my eyes to what it would be like to be working at such a young age. I tried to ask how old she was but I could only say, hello and thank you in Thai so our conversation went like this. me: สวัสดี (S̄wạs̄dī) her: สวัสดี (S̄wạs̄dī) me: How old are you? her: 3 buht ไทย (3 Buht thiy) She replied with the amount she was selling her fish.

I've had worse jobs.
Women of all ages and cultures use their body to survive, throughout my trip to Thailand, I found a large amount of women struggling to live, young and old. This young lady caught my eye as I was driving past, the positioning of her body under a sign for the convenience store fascinated me. It made think about the lives of all prostitutes and escorts.

Fighting for what I believe in is work too.

During 2014 January Thailand had an Anti-government protests. On my trip I had the privilege to walk through the protest near Siam Centre and capture true beauty. My favourite of all 800 Protest photographs was this amazing young girl. Her innocence in such chaos was pleasant.
