“Tickle Me!” Photograph

An invitation to tickle that was extremely easy to resist. There are many crusty street dogs in Thailand that have an untouchable aura about them due to mange or attitude but this hairless beast rolling around on the oily cement had both and therefore absolutely no chance of a pat from me.

“Bugs” Photograph

Any market stall displaying fried silk worms and crickets and bamboo grubs will get a lot interest from tourists. Not necessarily a lot of custom, but at least a lot of interest.

In my experience they all tend to be a bit oily from the cooking and taste of whatever other ingredients have been added.

“Tropical Sun” Photograph

Even in the rainy season when there is more cloud than blue sky the sun in Thailand catches people out with its power. Many visitors discover the need to readjust their activities too late – a holiday sleep-in and late breakfast often leads to sight-seeing in the middle of the day and sunburn. 

Then there are the crazy people who actually come here to sunbathe!

“Mirror Mirror” Photograph

The reflections of people in these large angled mirrors made a fairly obvious subject for a photograph but getting the right angle and timing involved a bit of trial and error. At least in this case that was a possibility as the mirrors were not moving and there were no end of people walking passed them. Street photography doesn’t always offer a second chance like this.

“Four Arms” Photograph

I have posted similar pictures of men standing together with folded arms before. Such repetition or pattern always makes a good photographic subject and in this case I particularly like the way that their arm-folding technique matches so well.
