The Asia Foundation Assignment in Bangkok Continues…

The Asia Foundation assignment in Bangkok Thailand continues. My work has been focusing in on several topics including union workers (as seen in the previous post about the Try Arm underwear factory), a childcare center, and the aftermath of the Red Shirt protests....

Child care center started and run by the Thai Women’s union to provide flexible time child care for factory worker’s children.

    Hi Karl

    This website/Blog is amazing, it is great to follow you and learn more about the NGO’s you work for, however there something missing.
    I know the most important thing in your website is the NGOs and we appreciate that, but what I would like to see as well is the story behind the picture. How did you approach that picture? What were the challenges to take that specific picture? What are the technical aspects of that photograph? You wouldn’t have to do that in all of the photographs, choose one in each article so we can learn more about what means to be a humanitarian photo journalist.
    I know time is limited, but we, participants of your workshops would appreciate that very much. (At least I would)
    Thanks my friend!

    Celso
