The above photo, from a series by Your Waitress, is of HiMY SYeD placing candles as part of his art piece and vigil to commemorate the one month point since the horriffic tsunami in the Indian Ocean. SFist also posted the personal story and photographs of Wyatt Gallery, who recently returned from the scene of the disaster in Sri Lanka. SFist Cares explores the rules relating to your 2004 tax return and your charitable giving.

The event tomorrow will again be held at Ocean Beach and starts at 4:30, or an hour before nightfall, this time between Lincoln and the windmill. HiMY will be putting together one of his patented "Outstallations," which will be a huge drawing of the Indian Ocean coastlines done with paper held in place with chopsticks. We were there when he did his last piece, Hope, and when it was all done it was rather breathtaking. It's an amazing opportunity to help out an artist while at the same time coming to your own terms with the tragedy and its aftermath. Please come, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. For up-to-date news on events here and around the world, drop by the Global Vigil blog.

Shortly after the terrible tsunami in the Indian Ocean, SFist Mary-Lynn put together a great SFist Cares feature. But as the extent of suffering has begun to become fully apparent, we felt that we weren't necessarily doing enough. The scale of this tragedy will probably not be matched in our lifetimes. At least we sure hope not.
