Here are some new photos developed last week from my 2019 to Thailand.
Mr. Owen 52 from "The People Who Live Under the Freeway".
A photo series telling the story of a large group of Thais who live in a slum area of Bangkok called Klong Toey. I will continue photographing the lives there on my return to 2020. Will also continue to do donation humanitarian stuff as well. It is important not only to take but also to give back to those that allow you the privilege of photographing them.
Shot most of this series last year on digital but these are Tri-x film shot, Leica R6, 16mm-21mm lens. The film was exposed at 800 ASA and given STAND development with Rodinal for 1 hour 15 minutes.
In the attached video you can see that Khun Owen on the pillar near traffic. He was breaking off the long metal rebar in the concrete so he could sell it. Owen was speaking about how the police arrested him "Dum-roo- it jub."
