Ban Bat community in Bangkok

Bangkok is not only a vertiginous skyline made of catchy colours. It is most of all an inextricable mix of communities, more or less wealthy.

I took this photograph in the area of the former Ayutthaya community, who used to earn their living by using their original knowledge to make high-priced "Bat", the traditional Alms bowl used by monks to receive their donation of food every morning.

Although the community has declined due to the introduction of factory produced Bat, there are still a small number of families making Bat in the traditional way

Please, have a look to my Thailand album!

Pegs bokeh

An ordinary object that had fascinated many photographers so far! And it seems my turn has come :)

I pretty like this bokeh, and it well reflects the street life in Thailand, where you can find a outdoor laundry at every corner. Simple, beautiful, colourful...that's all it means!

Colours are naturals, no post hoc enhancement.

Have a great weekend!

Monk above all

A portrait of our charismatic guide fortuitously met during a walking journey to the striking hilltop Buddhist temple known as Wat Tha Ton. Monk chats are very welcome in Thailand as it is often their only way to learn English.

It's beautiful to imagine that monks wear this orange robe for a life-time. But this does not mean that they can't add a fashion or pretty touch to it :)

Note: if you are going there don't miss the free breakfast outside the temple after the sunrise (offered by the monks for the monks and everybody else). It's a fantastic experience as the atmosphere of the place is magical... more photos to follow!

François Hollande - Speech at King's College London

The left-wing candidate for the 2012 French Presidential election held a speech in London today. He spoke about Europe, economic and youth, at the King's College.
Another goal was, of course, to convince French voters since 300,000 French people leave in London.
