As The Transadvocate explains, at the age of 30, Suanyot already “runs a satellite television station, gained her PhD, was once a member of an all-trans Thai pop group called Venus Flytrap, owns a jewelry business, is the current President of the TransFemale Association of Thailand and has been a strong advocate for TBLG rights.”
Now she is running for a provincial office in Nan Province. If successful, she will become the highest ranking transgender elected official in her country’s history.
Suanyot has said of her campaign, “I’m confident that my experience and ability will be useful in the development of Nan. I want to represent the trans women and all groups of homosexuals across the country in parliament and press the government to pay more interest to women and trans women.”
Her platform also consists of addressing flooding occurring in the province, setting up a 24-hour hotline to help citizens deal with issues requiring government attention and an increased focus on youth services and issues.

Camera obscura
The camera obscura (Latin; “camera” is a “vaulted chamber/room” + “obscura” means “dark”= “darkened chamber/room”) is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen. It is used in drawing and for entertainment, and was one of the inventions that led to photography. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced, upside-down, but with color and perspective preserved. The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation.
By the 18th century, more easily portable models became available. These were extensively used by amateur artists while on their travels, but they were also employed by professionals, including Canaletto and Joshua Reynolds, whose camera (disguised as a book) is now in the Science Museum (London). Such cameras were later adapted by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, Louis Daguerre and William Fox Talbot for creating the first photographs.

It’s not always easy to come up with a new idea and execute it in a way that seems effortless, but artist Zander Olsen has done just that. These simple yet extremely thoughtful temporary installations were created using white material and creative camera angles in various locations around the UK.
This is great! Totally brain-bending.
