Confessions of a Local Celebrity: a Tale of Rags to No Rags, by Mike Soret
1995 was a magical year. Wedged between a nasty recession and a dot-com bubble, North America briefly had discretionary income to burn. In music, swing became the greatest recipient of this windfall. It had the right elements in place: it was anachronistic, it was clean-cut, it was non-threatening. Many forgettable acts came, got paid, and faded under the banner of this gimmick. The Molestics were one of those acts, and though they weren’t the worst (or best, tightest, or cleanest) of the pack, they certainly are the subject of this imbibing memoir. 190 pages, embossed covers, 6.5″ square.

To start off I want to say that I am an absolute amateur; however, I love taking pictures, and have finally acquired an SLR. This is just a hobby, but I would like some critique on my photos so I can improve. Please be honest, but not harsh. I definitely understand these photographs are not going to launch my career 
So far I have read only a few articles online and I have begun reading a beginners book so any critique will help!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/39649259@N04/
Your photography is quite good. When I tried to improve my photography skills, my teacher told me to look at an object at a different angle than the one people would expect to see. It’s amazing how many different ways you can look at a single object. Next time you go taking pictures, play around with your exposure as well. Different lighting can make or break a picture.
Launch your own love story and see your words and pictures in print. Wonderfully romantic Love book that will go straight to the heart this Valentines Day or indeed any day.

The author of a new book recalling the tsunami incident at Ko Phi Phi island gave a presentation at Satree Phuket School to help raise funds & awareness. Lets find out more in this special report:
The Phuket release of a Book called And Then One Morning by Aaron le Boutillier, was held on Friday 24th October at the Satree Phuket High School with the Tourist Police, family and friends. The morning of the title refers to December 26, 2004. As that day dawned around the world, news stories followed a disaster that took hours to unfold as the tsunami raced across the vast Indian Ocean. For anyone caught up in the tsunami, however, it was all over in a matter of minutes. They were either alive or dead. Over a quarter of a million people lost their lives while millions who survived had to deal with the tragedy in countless ways.
Aaron le Boutillier was one such survivor. Aaron was on the Thai island of Koh Phi Phi where he had lived and worked through much of the nineties. Although settled in Singapore now, Aaron made regular visits to the island. And Then One Morning encapsulates the expat life on the small tropical island and introduces the reader to the main characters who either survived or perished in the tsunami. Chief amongst these is the Oswald family. Heinz Oswald spent eighteen years developing a successful dive business on Phi Phi. Aaron visited Phi Phi that Christmas to help Heinz and his family move to Phuket on the afternoon of December 26. That move never happened.
Hours after the tsunami, Aaron found Heinzs wife and four year old son alive.
There is relief and surprise as other characters are found alive. But for the next
two weeks there is the trauma of the search for Heinz and his two daughters.
And Then One Morning captures Aarons growth from a care-free twenty-two
year old into a successful business owner in Singapore by the time of the
tsunami. Following the tsunami he took responsibility to help the survivors of the
Oswald family as well as other friends from the island.
Four years on there are still people suffering from the tsunami in a multitude of
ways. Aaron has decided that the author royalties from the sale of his book
should go to helping some of those still traumatised by the disaster & to support various foundations in the South of Thailand.
Voice ****
Big Wave Publications pays him 12% royalties and it is these profits that he is using exclusively to help in various charities. He is hoping by Xmas 2008 that sales will be sufficient enough to post his first photos and testimonials of the funds handed over.
During the Bangkok Book Launch he met Mr. Nattawat from the Satree Phuket High School. They kindly offered to host the Phuket book launch and Aaron donated 100% of the profits from the sale of the book that day to Satree School. After that he will use the 12% to support their orphanage. In 2009, he hopes to work with Mr Pong Chongchit from the Thailand Tsunami Education centre for Life.

Jandal Prints on the Globe is a travel story compendium edited by two Kiwis, Jane Gilkison and Rachel Pether.
They are friends who met-up overseas and decided a book made up of people’s emails and photos of their travel highlights would be a good idea.
They then advertised online for contributors and spent the next couple of years turning what they got into something a publisher would take on.
And they did a corker job, the book has just been published by Stead & Daughters Ltd and is available now.
