Posting images the next day is insane for me. Too quick. Too many details are unnoticed. But I want this insanity to become routine.
I want to have a quick flow "street - camera - Hive" without much attachment to separate pictures, without much reflection about some of them. That brings chaos and no much use. Feeling of being dynamic gives more than meticulous editing.
That pointing hand in the image, much character in it, I love it - a bossy woman commands to give her an oyster. The seafood looks, that's true, quite tempting.
I started my yesterday street photography hunt with a visit of Bang Rak:
A pretty girl in the frame is always an advantage. These stairs and bridges in the area are fun, and, it looks, I at last managed to include them well in the frame... Well, right, or not so well? 馃檪
However, it was a sort of too hot, and I felt sluggish and even tired. Had a hot coffee from a convenience store chilling out, like a free person, at the stairs of another faceless business tower.
Hua Lamphong train station was the next, just a bus ride from Bang Rak:
Sometimes, it takes forever to wait for someone to cross the frame.
Good to see that backpackers still exist. I was upset by this mug of coffee on the ad, but now I think - it's ok.
It was getting dark and I quickly relocated to Yaowarat Street hoping to benefit from its lights and colors.
An arriving backpacker in search of the hotel in the thick of things. After shower, if not too tired, he'll excitedly go out to join the colorful crowd... To treat himself an octopus ot two?
Yaowarat Street has a lot to offer.
A meal made of shark fins, for example.
A healthy mix of local tradition (Thai, Thai Chinese) and tourism, I love this area.
Look, they even have no name of their food in Latin (but, at least, you can choose the size).
I saw this place with a plain gas stove, a wok, and these plastic curtains in 2019 and, probably, before. Sometimes what looks temporary is the most permanent. Isn't that very Taoist?
That boy, unlike some other characters, wanted to be photographed. He ran into the frame when he noticed I was focusing on these green shutters - I was doing this for purpose, was waiting for him to run into the frame - I felt he wanted it.
Looking back, taking a cityscape for good memories, hurrying to a bus station to get on a late bus back to southern outskirts of Bangkok...

I took these images with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and some with a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 on a full-frame DSLR Nikon D750 on February 8, 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand
