We are thrilled to announce to you: Recapture. This is very exciting to us. Read around the blog to get a full view of what we are about and our mission. We leave on February 18th. This will be the first recapture trip and we know we will learn a lot about the vision of this non-profit.
We will be going to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and to the islands where the Tsunami hit. We will be emersing ourselves in the culture as we arrive. The second week we are there we will be taking boat rides to the islands to take images of Tsunami victims. We will be with some of my cousins that have been rebuilding their homes for the last three years. They will be showing us around and introducing us to their country. It is extremely important to us to have an established relationship with the people we strive to capture. They will be our avenue of an established relationship as the people already trust them. The process will be to go by boat to the homes that have been rebuilt. We will take portraits of their families. We will then go back to Ranong or et to edit and tone the images. We will go to labs there in the city to have them printed and then laminate them to with stand the elements. Then we will go back on another day to the island and deliver the images. This could be an interesting time as we try to match the person to the portrait. We are told they are not an emotional culture and usually don’t show their gratitude. This will be a stretch for us as we would love to see them enjoy their images, but it is not guaranteed. We are sure they will be enjoying them, but may not be able to show that.
I cannot tell you how excited we are about this venture.We are in complete awe at the opportunity that we have been given. We have been given this talent and we know it is our responsibility to share it with the world. Join us in this mission and watch the blog as we keep you up to date.
