Found My Story, Will Continue With "People Who Live Under The Freeway"

Found a photo story to do in Bangkok, it is actually an old story I started 5-6 years ago, "The People Who Live Under The Freeway".  In the next few days I will be spending more time working on  this photo series. Will try to do more detailed photographs and dive deeper into the lives of the people under the freeway.

The three main subjects are Khun Anapon, Khun Ooh and a new gentleman Khun Dom. Will try to learn more about their former lives, about how they ended up living under a freeway. I know that Khune Anapon is a former boxer and in his early 50s but that is about it. I know almost nothing about Khun Ooh or Khun Dom. Many people seem to wander through the area occasionally stopping and staying, they might a bit of depth to this series of pictures. Two days ago a younger lady named Mew was there, drunk and asking for money.
