Bangkok Moments

When I lived and worked in Bangkok and other Southeast Asia cities I would often just hop on a local bus or subway, ride for 10 minutes, get off and wander with my cameras.  I started this when I was a young sailor working as a photographer in places like Africa and the Mediterranean.  I never knew what I find but I was sure that if I sat in the hotel or stayed on the ship I would get nothing.
So I would just wander.  Bangkok to me was a great place for this.  Shoot a little, walk a little, eat some noodles, drink a cold beer and then back out to see what I could see. 
​I shot this moment of a mother teaching her young child how to pray at a temple not far from the Bangkok train station.
