BEAT STREET
Street vending is a way of life to many Thais. A great number of these vendors fight poverty and supplement their income this way. I learned that many of them hold day jobs and continued their livelihood in the evening by vending in night markets on the streets. These are amazing people who form a social, economic and cultural force that shape the urban landscape of Bangkok.

I HOPE YOU DANCE
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance...

VENDORAMA
The majority of the people I photographed on the streets are vendors. They are synonymous with the streets because their livelihood are carved there. I'm intrigued by them. The spaces and stalls they run form great backgrounds for environmental portraits, which provided me the incentive to photograph them.

BEST IS YET TO BE
Age is catching up with me. Father Time visits quite often now, like after every basketball game, bringing his gift of aches. That could be why I like taking photos of elderly people. They provide me a glimpse of my future. I draw strength from them who are still active, such as this gentle lady, who is still doing it, vending on the street. I aspire to be still walking around with a camera in hand when the time comes.

ARTFULLY YOURS
I thoroughly enjoyed going round the art section in Chatuchak. Inspiration was bountiful and I felt alive. Though my profession centres on design, art is an intricate part of the work flow. When it comes to Street Photography, it's very much an art form to me, as I'm doing it without any commercial affiliation. This way, I can keep it pure. It's my expression of life and how I witness life, all in black and white.

ENFORCING A GOOD NAME
Law enforcers mingling with locals and breaking smiles. The childhood I came from referred to policemen as cold authoritarians who would "catch me" if I didn't behave. This photo is a tribute to all my uncles and aunts who tarnished the good name of a police officer.
