  • 11 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A mural on a wall in the neighborhood near Santa Cruz Church in the Thonburi section of Bangkok. The neighborhood around the church is known for the Thai adaptation of Portuguese cakes baked in the neighborhood. Several hundred Siamese (Thai) Buddhists converted to Catholicism in the 1770s. Some of the families started baking the cakes. When the Siamese Empire in Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese, the Portuguese and Thai Catholics fled to Thonburi, in what is now Bangkok. The Portuguese established a Catholic church near the new Siamese capital. There are still a large number of Thai Catholics living in the neighborhood around the church.           PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 06 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A mural on the soi opposite Thanusingha Bakery in the Santa Cruz neighborhood of Bangkok. The bakery sells traditional Thai Catholic desert cakes. The cakes are called "Kanom Farang Kudeejeen" or "Chinese Monk Candy." The tradition of baking the cakes, about the size of a cupcake or muffin, started in Siam (now Thailand) in the 17th century AD when Portuguese Catholic priests accompanied Portuguese soldiers who assisted the Siamese in their wars with Burma. Several hundred Siamese (Thai) Buddhists converted to Catholicism and started baking the cakes. When the Siamese Empire in Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese the Portuguese and Thai Catholics fled to Thonburi, in what is now Bangkok. The Portuguese established a Catholic church near the new Siamese capital. Now just three families bake the cakes, using a recipe that is 400 years old and contains eggs, wheat flour, sugar, water and raisins. The same family has been baking the cakes at the Thanusingha Bakery, near Santa Cruz Church, for more than five generations. There are still a large number of Thai Catholics living in the neighborhood around the church.        PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Carl McKnight, a Boone realtor and Donald Trump supporter, commissioned the mural, which he calls nothing more than a campaign sign. Some in Boone, a community about 45 miles northwest of Des Moines, are concerned that the mural, which dominates a new park and bandshell in Boone, is not appropriate in a space shared by all people. A Boone city councilperson said people who donated to the fund to build the park have asked for their donations back. McKnight said the mural will stay up until at least election day.

  • 01 FEBRUARY 2020 - BOONE, IOWA: A mural supporting President Donald Trump in downtown Boone, IA. Carl McKnight, a Boone realtor and Donald Trump supporter, commissioned the mural, which he calls nothing more than a campaign sign. Some in Boone, a community about 45 miles northwest of Des Moines, are concerned that the mural, which dominates a new park and bandshell in Boone, is not appropriate in a space shared by all people. A Boone city councilperson said people who donated to the fund to build the park have asked for their donations back. McKnight said the mural will stay up until at least election day.

The protest was the largest protest since June 2014, against the military government of General Prayuth Chan-Ocha, who staged the coup against the elected government. Police made several arrests Saturday afternoon but the protest was not violent.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 27 SEPTEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A woman prays at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok. The Erawan Shrine is a Hindu shrine in Bangkok, Thailand, that houses a statue of Phra Phrom, the Thai representation of the Hindu creation god Brahma. A popular tourist attraction, it often features performances by resident Thai dance troupes, who are hired by worshippers in return for seeing their prayers at the shrine answered. The Erawan Shrine was built in 1956 as part of the government-owned Erawan Hotel to eliminate the bad karma believed caused by laying the foundations on the wrong date. The hotel's construction was delayed by a series of mishaps, including cost overruns, injuries to laborers, and the loss of a shipload of Italian marble intended for the building. Furthermore, the Ratchaprasong Intersection had once been used to put criminals on public display. An astrologer advised building the shrine to counter the negative influences. The Brahma statue was designed and built by the Department of Fine Arts and enshrined on 9 November 1956. The hotel's construction thereafter proceeded without further incident. In 1987, the hotel was demolished and the site used for the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
