Sustainability

 

When you can already see the disappointing faces on the jury from the many "trolls" submitting their image of Thailand hehe

I wonder if I should submit photos of the numerous stinking garbage heaps that miraculously appear overnight along the side of my soi, or perhaps an enchanting image series documenting the destitute local drunks guzzling their bottles of lao khao at 9 a.m. every morning in front of the neighborhood mom-and-pop store. Or a pic of the vacant land plot whose entrepreneurial owner has transformed it into an illegal dump by allowing people to unload their construction rubble and waste there - for a price, of course. He's even cut down all the trees to create more space for these landscaping efforts. I mean, who needs trees?  

Do I require a work permit to be a photographer ? 

Nuff said.

Narcotics prostitutes and crime and scamming monks ..That sums it up nowadays
