It’s been a while since I wrote something around here. The lack of shooting assignments doesn’t necessarily mean there’s nothing to write. Matter of fact, since I carefully curate the pictures that get posted on the blog, I can pick a few more pictures from the last few years and think of words to go along with it. That’s what I am doing with this post.
What made me write this one is actually the song in the background if you cared to listen to it. It’s an old favorite from back in 2003 which I recently started playing again. I thought the title kind of fit the current situation that we are in. “This city’s made us crazy and we must get out.” Not that I want to go somewhere but the song’s a bit nostalgic and I thought these photos from Ian and Kerstin’s very candid pre wedding in Bangkok fit it terribly well.
These aren’t too long ago but looking back at these and the rest of the pictures on my hard drives always humbles me. Because really, I think I’m a better at tricking you with storytelling than taking your pictures. “This city’s made us crazy and we must get out.”
I arrived in Bangkok by myself. First time on that part of the world.
The next day, we headed out for pictures.
We went to the railway.
It was my first time meeting these two and they treat me like family.
This was in July. This should have been Mango July.
They took me to some touristy places.
Pictures that I like.
These guys had smart phones. Ha!
Another favorite.
Must get out.
Running to?
They used to live in those buildings. Now they’re in Aussie.
Really happy to bump into Food Republic.
Traffic in Bangkok was also terrible.
Always.
I wonder what these pictures will mean many years from now.
Because this month makes these two years old and I’m overwhelmed with emotion.
