BANGKOK - a surreal portrait
100 images Created 26 Dec 2009
The Thai capital, Bangkok, has been my home base for the last two decades Known locally as Krung Thep the city is estimated to be home to over 10 million people and was the most visited city in the world in 2018. Over the years of living in the "City of Angels" I have witnessed extraordinary changes and transformations in a city that seems to be able to regenerate itself like no other.
It often yields somewhat surreal images to my eye, juxtaposing incongruous elements: the poor and the rich, the ugly and the beautiful, and the ancient and the modern all competing for attention, cheek by jowl.
