My documentation of life by the railroad tracks in Central Bangkok came about with a conversation I had with a man who lived there. He invited me into his home and asked me simply, “Bangkok: happy, no happy?” In that instant, I had an epiphany. Here, in this tiny sliver of land, we can find all the ranges of emotion that encompass the joys and sorrows of the human spirit – the representation of all humanity.

Miss Red, very lovely of you to say so :)
Great job!!!

These are beautiful!!!
May I ask what film and chemical combo did you use? The skin tone is very nice!!
Thank!!
KHC1013, I use whatever black and white film is available and have it processed in the lab...generally in sunlight, I use more low contrast film such as txp and flat light, I use higher contrast film like delta. It's more about light and printing than it is about film and processing.
Thanks for replying me. The first photographs, the highlight on the skin with all the dark details are just stunning!!! I love it!!
Light and printing? So are all your works not scanned from negative but scanned prints? I have not been into a wet darkroom for a long time. You give me the motivation to jump back in again.
and between, just added you on flickr
:)
