Coffeetable Books

Ray's Life...

July 2013

Village life

Picture
A compilation of images, all shot within the boundary of a small NE Thailand village, intended to highlight the beauty of the village.

A gallery and slideshow of the page proofs of this book may be viewed here.

Urban life

Picture
Images, mainly an elevated garden and the urban wildlife it has attracted, of an apartment complex in inner Bangkok.

A gallery and slideshow of the page proofs of this book may be viewed here.


North India life

Picture
Pictures from an April 2012 nine day visit with friend, Tim, to West Bengal and Sikkim. Kolkata is the entry and exit point, and can be described as archetypically Indian "big city" with its heat and its crush of people.

However, the rest of the trip took in places that are very different, and might be difficult for even many Indians to identify as part of their country. The foothills of the Himalayas are cool and beautiful, and offer the inhabitants a much more relaxed lifestyle.

A gallery and slideshow of the page proofs of this book may be viewed here.

Australian life

Picture
Pictures from a week in SE Australia in March 2012. 

The main purpose of the trip was to visit my Mum to celebrate her 90th birthday, but we also took the opportunity to travel widely in the State of Victoria.

A gallery and slideshow of the page proofs of this book may be viewed here.

The House Project

Picture


​The main event in 2014 was the building of our house in Surin Province.

Here is a book that chronicles that Project from digging of foundations to blessing of the house.

​A gallery and slideshow of the page proofs of the book may be viewed here.
