Work for what you want

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.

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.

My job is to protect.

Along side all jobs, a father protecting his children and family is a very important job. This photo touched me and inspired me to achieve the best I can. The way she holds onto him and her teddy I found beautiful.
