Get Real
Did you find a picture?
I’m Tony. I’m an amateur photographer living in Phuket, Thailand.
Here, in the age of AI and social media, I decided to do something different. Instead of “sharing” photography meant to be viewed on a screen, I share pictures in the real world, pictures you can actually hold in your hand.
The picture is also a gift from me to you.
If you found one of these pictures, feel free to leave a comment on the post page, but only if you want to.
Thanks for taking my picture!
“The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.”
