Building Mardi Gras
Posted by 'Pong in Photography on 25/03/2009
The original plan for this shooting was to capture the moment when took the main floats apart and transport them to the location just the the day before the Mardi Gras Parade. However, they found the way to do that without dismantling the float so they were just finishing them up. But I was not a waste of time, I found that the construction is interesting enough by itself. Moreover, that day a breakfast show from a television network came in to cross promo the event. It gave me another story in the morning.

I believe that I have covered all the aspects of Mardi Gras Parade that I wanted from this construction to, especially, the cleaning up. There are more angles to play, I am certain. But for now this is what I am quite satisfied.

Constructing Bangkok
Posted by 'Pong in Photography, Travel on 07/02/2008
When Thailand has recovered from economic and political crisis, Bangkok is woken up by excavators and cranes again. Some sites are revived from the meltdown ten years ago. But some places such as, green areas and unregistered heritages are flattened down for the sake of city growth. It is simply a fact of life.

Demolishing Old House
Posted by 'Pong in Photography, Travel on 06/02/2008
Following the last photo essay about on-hold construction sites due to the economic meltdown a decade ago, this essay is looking at a fading memory of an aged place.
Entrance
There was an old house on Petchburi Road I always admired. It was one of the best examples of colonial architecture in the heart of Bangkok. In my memory, it was a backdrop in some films and commercials representing the era. It was an evidence to show how modernised the kingdom was.
However, the city is moving on and the area is being transformed. Unfortunately, a new development does not spare a room for this old mansion and it has to go. There are some buildings that have been compromised the city growth, such as the old Russian Embassy and Thai-Chiness Chamber of Commerce on South Sathorn Road but not this one.
I always wanted to have a look beyond the closed gate. Sadly, when the gate was open, there was almost nothing left to see except the structure of memory that would not last long.
