More pictures from my Bangkok trip…

The above was taken at the Hollywood Action show at the Dreamworld theme park. The show itself was pretty boring (partially because everything was in Thai — dialogue, commentary and all!) so I busied myself taking pictures of the display of action and pyrotechnics. Dearest CY came up with the interesting title for this one 🙂 … which leads to several questions: 1) Is the show bad?, 2) Is this what the guy in the SWAT uniform is thinking?, 3) Is the door bad?, or 4) Is this picture badly taken? (I hope not! :P)

Ushering In The Compliments

Ushering In The Compliments
I took a short holiday trip to Bangkok, Thailand last weekend. On this visit, we made a trip to the Dreamworld theme park just 10 minutes away from Don Muang International Airport. The park was really crowded during our visit since it was the Thai monarch’s birthday, which made photography challenging. While waiting for our transport at the end of the day, I caught a glimpse of this park-usher taking a look at the compliments that were left behind by visitors. The brilliant lighting and strong colours attracted me to take this picture.

ARPS #10 – “Excuse Me Please?”


Back to the ARPS series…

“Excuse me?” seems to be what this boatman is telling the captain of the other boat as he tries to manoeuvre his speed boat past the tightly berthed boats at low tide at Changi Jetty, Singapore. These speed boats deliver barrels of fish and seafood to the fishmongers/distributors daily as they await their stock for the day. I like the brilliant/saturated colours as well as the hint of warm morning sunlight that lit the scene.
