It was a protest rally to throw out the admittedly dreadful then current PM of Thailand. The crowd were old royalists and they eventually got their way. My friend had been arrested the previous day for not carrying his passport as there was a security paranoia clampdown underway as Thailand was skirmishing with Cambodia and any foreigner was a suspected spy. Just bizarre. I had my passport so went but was aware that taking pics of old people protesting might freak them out. Eventually I just thought fuck it and took a few.
I was going to do a William Klein and write a story about each but, again, thought, bugger it, and posted.
Awesome. You should put out a huge book of your best photos Simon!!
Cheers, Ross. It's a possibility but not HUGE. Thanks for the support my friend :-)
Beautiful photos Simon! If these are the raw photos then you don't need to edit them.
Good work! I think my favourite here is the seated crowd watching something - the tones and faces have an illustrative quality!
