Big Apple Big Hope by PAIROJ PICHETMETAKUL (Pok) 

             "I was drawn into Pairoj’s work when I first saw his Abraham Lincoln portrait.  It captured the soul of a man in what appears to be a time of hardship.  I feel that a portrait should capture the depth and personality of the subject without the distortion of reality. In some of his portraits, he uses a lot of vibrant colors that pop out of the canvas like a layer of texture in different dimensions.  Pairoj’s portraits provokes many questions about reality."  -Ek Wongleecharoen

Pairoj is my friend and like my brother. He started his Big Apple Big Hope in NYC to help homeless people for their better life and unforgetting. He will bring food and money from donation and his own money to homeless people but not only giving them food and money. He even draw their portrait to catch people who walk pass by and stop to pay attention and help them too. From Pairoj warm heart, all artists around NYC are helping him to. Most of the photographer that help him shooting are street photographers and films.

Imagine | The Colourful Mr Eggleston

Today I would like to share one of file for my class assignment. 

"William Eggleston is one of the most influential and original photographers alive today.
A Mississippi aristocrat with a fondness for guns, drink and women, he dragged colour into the world of art photography. Reviled in the 1970s, he is now considered a legend whose unique visual style has influenced generations of photographers and filmmakers.
Imagine shows the normally shy and elusive Eggleston at work – taking photographs on the road, in and around his home town of Memphis."

After watch this film, in the beginning of the film, I thought Mr. Eggleston will be the stubborn old man who won't change what he is because how he react to the audience about asking him questions But, I was wrong...Mr. Egglestone had big step of changing from B&W to Color!!!! and love that his wife said to should ugly things after the world change.

This film show that if you need photos, you need to go find them like Mr. Egglestone do even he shoot the everyday life but you need to go find it outside your room sometimes such as his famous photo of the red room of his doctor friend. I also love the way he shoot the photo...one scene one shoot!!! He doesn't have to sit down and have a headache which photo he need to pick late on.

I wonder is he like all of his photos that he took?
