Handmade by Jerry Alexander "Hello, my name is Jerry Alexander and I live in Thailand. I remember the first meaningful photo I ever took I was nine years old and my parents had given me a horse for my birthday. I promptly took 'Chief' to near-by Napa River, and stood him in three feet of water. I still have that photograph. "Along the way there have been many more meaningful images. I had the good fortune to have worked on assignment in the Ukraine, with National Geographic. I was not surprised by their newfound passion for freedom. I found the people there to be the most authentic I have ever met. "I have completed five World Food books for a travel publishing company. I was photographing bamboo worms, rice crickets and beehive larvae a most memorable time in Thailand! I earned the right to taste such delicacies and yes, they were quite good! "I have photographed a number of books on Thai culture. I recall the shot we took one day of ten elephants at 7 a.m., all with their own musical instruments. On command, they literally 'struck up the band.' Another time, one freezing night in Lhasa, Tibet, I took a photo of the Potala Palace, under a full moon it was my only source of light. It took an exposure of forty-two minutes, but it was spectacular. I was able to present the image to the Dalai Lama some years later in California. He said he liked it. "Taking photographs affords me the great fortune of traveling and meeting people from many parts of the world. I am most grateful for such opportunities and look forward to many more meaningful moments. "I come from the Napa Valley, but I have made Thailand my home. From here, I can travel throughout Asia and capture each country's uniqueness on film. Life is just fine."
