Khun Charn Flower: Photographer. Bangkok, Aug 2007.
Khun Charn Flower takes photos in Bangkok's infamous Pat Pong.
I've known him for years and a few months ago I asked if I could take a few photos of him, they are also in this set. Charn gave me a few minutes to photo his arms and go through the regular "pointed finger under the chin" poses.
I showed him the photographs and also the comments / views / favourite notes members had left on flickr. His face lit up and took off his shirt and allowed us to see his "bodywork." This style of tattoo are related to Charn's spiritual protectiion and were applied by monks at a temple bashing a three foot long needle with a small hammer into his skin, having to re-dip the tip in a pot of ink every two or three taps of application.
All the while I took his photograph Charn said, in Thai, "I am an old man, I am now an old man." 55 isn't old pal. Though it may explain why he rides a huge Harley Davidson motorbike.
De framed and resized photograph is available here...
