Flooding in Jerry's Neighborhood in Bangkok

This is Jerry's favorite restaurant in the Fall 2011 flooding. It has been here for ages, belonging to a movie star of the 70's.
Jerry's red house is near the tall building in the back ground.

Upcountry Thailand

Jerry was experimenting with using black and white negatives and printing them on color paper stock to better reflect the Thailand of old, when it was called Siam.

Italian Circus

When Jerry Burchard was stationed in Italy during 1953-54 as a Navy Photographer, he attended a circus and took photos with a borrowed 35mm camera. During that time Jerry was using mostly 4x5.
Years later Jerry stumbled across these little over-exposed grainy negatives, printed them up, and they were part of the bases of a new way of thinking about photography for him. These are probably his first 35mm images.

Jerry mentioned that "the Navy Jazz musicians friends took me to a circus. They took me to hear the clowns. They told me that the clowns were the best musicians they had ever heard. And they were right."
