And when I heard about the earthquake off Samoa and the impending tsunami that was likely coming, I could only think of the destruction I saw while in Thailand and knew what was in store for the Samoans.

In light of the damage that has happened to Samoa and American Samoa, I have decided to offer a $4 discount on all T-Shirts and apparel at my CafePress store through November 1st.

And what’s more, 100% of the profit will go to the Red Cross in Samoa in an effort to rebuild.

The prices are already adjusted, so please feel free to go and look around here: http://cafepress.com/williambay

There you will see the newest photo in the collection, pictured here, This was taken in White Sands National Monument, in New Mexico last winter. It is of a Lone Yucca plant in the dunes of White Sands with the Sacramento Mountains forming a dark sliver of a line to the East.

I hope you enjoy the shirts, and enjoy the contribution you make to helping rebuild a community half-way around the world.

For a couple years I have wanted to find some way in which to give back to the world with my photography. Well, I have just started selling a signature series of my photographs on clothing through Café Press.

Most importantly, half of all profits will be donated to ecological and natural disaster relief organizations.

As most of you know Burma (Myanmar) was hit with a very severe hurricane that killed 125,000 people. I was in Burma once a month while living in Thailand. It’s something close to my heart and I hope to give what I can.

You can reach the store here or by clicking the “The Shop” link on the menu above.

Remember, it’s a great way to get some cool clothes and assist some people that really need it now, at the same time!

Here is an example below. Have fun shopping!
