Many years ago when I first started taking snapshots the results were often not even close to what I'd imagined when shooting... Just shoot, bring your roll of film to a shop for developing and hope for the best… Then much later digital photography arrived and suddenly photo editing (thank you Photoshop) became possible. So I fiddled around with Photoshop filters, which took some time but occasionally produced interesting results. Next came Instagram, at first I was really en

We'd arrived at Bobae and had to wind our way through some alleys before getting back on track again. It's a busy area with lots of little shops and technically here starts Khlong Maha Nak. In the distance: Mahanak Mosque. Great NASA SPACE shirt! Ice delivery guy taking a break. Very official looking, complete with signs...

The title is a bit misleading as I often visit Chinatown anyway, there's always so much going on! I took several shots of this guy carrying his (?) child, but this one seemed to be the best. Classic old shop, but I always wonder how they can survive as their products seem to be limited and displayed in layers of dust... Street vendor frying up a tasty omelet. Standing in line for Gold shops, I've seen this a few times now... The background of this closed shop covered in (rath
