Thank you!

Thanks. Pedro, really not sure, it was just floating around the aquarium. I was there shooting an event and it just caught my eye.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Mekong River, Laos. Thank You

Yousuf, while your attention to my work is appreciated, the issue between dave and I was over a LONG time ago. He had some very valid points and there was some misunderstanding but that has been cleared now. As I have told Dave, I would happily buy him a beer and have a laugh over this misunderstanding. Dave - I am sorry that you had to unfairly recieve this comment - Darrin

Thank you

.....I went travelling with Harry! 7/7

Hi Lou Ann,

 

Nice natural photo with a very catching exression. Tones are good and the lighting seems spot on as well. A nice shot that one would get a lot of joy from in years to come. Darrin

Sorry about that. I actually went to school with a William 'Bill' Tsui so subconciously linked the two of you!

David, all is peaceful again! As I said, look forward to buying you a beer one day

David, as mentioned in my email, I agree with your points and am happy that we are able to communicate about this in a civil manner. As you know, my only concern is the manner. Thank you for being concerned enough to raise these issues. Darrin

I make the point clear in a reference to this photo of yours: Windsor Knot

A man and his son return home at dawn after a full night's fishing.

lake Inle, Myanmar.

 

This is a resubmit of a shot posted a while back, has been cleaned

up a little (my scanning and PS skills were not so good in those

days!). It does, however, look very very close to the original

tranny.

Thanks William. Good point, the percentage of profit from the photos donated is 100%. We were at one stage meeting the donation at a rate of 50p to the pound but stopped when we reached our personal limit of ?500. (From our pocket).

 

Our personal contribution after this amount is the work and admin required to put this together.

 

By the way, a reciept is sent with every photo confirming the donation. (From the Red Cross etc)

David, you actually have some valid points but your way of accusing us with no validity is what I am concerned with. Why is it you come straight out and accuse people of the worst?

I call you ignorant relative to this case based on a definition, making judgement with no knowledge about what it is you judge. Whether you are ignorant generally is something I do not know and is not something I am accusing you of.

Not that I owe you an explanation but let me fill you in on a few details. This particular photo was taken whilst on a trek with UNESCO in Laos. We were helping with a programme to develop education facilities and did so through physical help. Since this photo has been published and sold through various locations it has raised a substantial amount of money that has been directed straight to that particular fund, hence more than likely actually benefiting this little girl and her family.

Can I suggest you extend the courtesy of asking valid questions to people before making such harsh accusations.

I make the point clear in a reference to this photo of yours: Windsor Knot

Once again I am reporting you to the administrators for abuse.

Hi Dave, thank you for your comment. If you look at the details it is quite clear what country and when the photo was taken!

Beautiful mood

Actually Faith you came out and made some very derogative remarks against us personally (the sick comments) based on your unfortunate views. And to question our honesty?? I consider that abuse.

 

I am glad you posted the email, it is far from silly and I look forward to the administrator's response.

Faith, your unjustified and bitter attacks on people trying to help in a very needy cause have prompted me to report your antics to the administrators. Your behaviour and narrow mindness is not what a community is all about.

And who said this photo had anything to do with the tragedy? It is to us a positive photo symbolising the caring for each other. It really is sad knowing that people can think this way.

 

By absolutely no means am I making a comparison between us and such amazing people such as Bob Geldorf and Bono from U2 but they have used their skills through Band Aid to generate untold millions for the world's poor. I ask you a question, do you believe they did what they did because they were able to help or were they just trying to boost album sales?

I feel sorry for you Faith, truly. Why are you so bitter and cynical? People are in need of aid at the moment, that is our cause. As mentioned to Dave, people who know us know this is the truth. If you, who do not know us at all, make poor judgement than that is purely your problem. We have used our photography in a positive way and will continue to raise money. How you choose to view the world is up to you.

Regarding your recent comment on my appeal to raise money for the Tsunami cause. It is an appalling and extremely cynical way of passing judgement through nothing more than ignorance. We have raised a substantial amount for this cause through the best medium we know, our photography. People who know us know it is with the cause in mind first and always. People like you who don't and make poor judgement mean very little. Please think and open your mind a little before making such harsh comments.

 

I have reported this situation to the administrators of this site as your unjustified attack does not seem in line with what this community seems to reperesent.

We have raised over ?1500.00 towards this cause now. Sorry you are too cynical to believe people actually want to help others through their skills or other means.

Hi All,

The recent disaster in South East Asia is unprecedented in the need for Aid to help in the supply of the basics such as Water, Food, Shelter and Medicine.

As some of you know, we have been selling our photographs, many from the affected regions, for a while now which has led to an idea that we hope will help those badly in need of those basics to survive.

For as long as it is required, ALL profits from the photos sold off the website will be donated directly to the relevant Aid Organisations. The prices of the photos have been drastically reduced to encourage more sales during this period which will hopefully lead to a reasonable sum to be donated.

Some of the shots have won International awards and the photos generally have been given substantial International recognition. For the small cost of the photos you will be receiving something which truly reflects on the culture of that particular place and the knowledge that you have helped out in the long process of rebuilding many many severely affected lives.

There is now a section on our website which goes through this in greater detail including a Size and Price guide. Please visit Darrin James Photography

Every bit will go a long way, thank you for giving this consideration. If you feel this is a worthy exercise, please pass on these details to your family and friends.

Dana and Darrin
