BANGKOK WALKS



These pictures were taken in bangkok's chinatown. I spent 3 hours walking there a few days ago. I was fascinated by the shark fins in the restaurants, some of them so huge. I love sharks... alive. I took the b&w photo for no apparent reason; he was just crossing in front of me. I did feel moved by him, not really knowing why. Now I see him again, old and fragile between these cars, almost crushed; I see him looking for a way to escape, maybe. It's sort of noisy and brutal sometimes to be part of the younger generation -I might have felt partly responsible for him being stuck between machines like that.

Those two pics remind me of Cleo de 5 à 7. It's b&w too, the traffic is noisy and at some point the camera films the girl through the window of a hat shop that reflects the street behind...
