Sit or get Wet

My first year in Bangkok began in January 1997 during the dry season. Daytime temperatures could climb above 100 degrees, and all of the city's concrete and tall buildings only intensified the heat. The rain began five months later.

​At first, the showers were only an hour long. Then the monsoons followed. As a street photographer, I've been a student of life and all of its quirks. Once, when I was shooting for the AP back in Oklahoma, I was told that there were always opportunities for photographs, no matter the weather. You just had to look for the shots.

Such was the case with the egg man and the monsoon. His choices were the same for me that day in Bangkok's Chinatown. 

Sit still and wait or get wet.
