photo documentary – Hawa
seriously i don’t know how to take pictures of a model. if i do take, it will turn out to be very horrible.
i guess i didn’t have the talent in fashion / model art photography.
last weekend we have a small session with the clan to do some model photo shoot. the main purpose is to try out our new MUA, so we did call some of our frens to be the experimental tools. lol.
inspired by the RUPAJIWA portrait collection entitled ‘rahsia rasa-perempuan’, i decided to make my own personal collection from this session shoot. Hawa!

photo documentary – the ‘undisturbed maeklong’
Situated on the south west of bangkok in a province called samut songkhram, theres a small market that have been in existence for decades. It remained relatively undisturbed until the later creation of the Maeklong Railway. But those creation of Maeklong railway has turn out making the Maeklong market one of the most exotic market in the world.
The market doesn’t sell any unique products, and it’s not the oldest, or largest market in the world, but it does have a train running through it 8 times a day, and that makes it unique. Because Thailand has no laws requiring markets be moved, if a railroad is built in the area, Maeklong Market remained in place even after trains began passing through it. Vendors simply remove their awnings, and shoppers step off of the track that serves as a walkway, long enough for the train to pass, and then it’s business as usual, as if nothing happened. To locals it’s just routine, but to foreigners it’s one bizarre display.
The Maeklong Railway from Bangkok opened in 1905 and has a total of 18 stations in small villages and towns from beginning to end. The railway, which receives relatively little use compared to those in major cities, is regularly threatened with closure – though it seems that may never really happen. The Maeklong Railway has only one track, making it difficult to operate more than two or three trains at a time. The only time two trains can pass each other is if they are resting in one of the terminals.
The journey to the maeklong market have been a though one for me and my travel partner, amri. It is because u will be using a lot of public transport to get u here, and the more far from bangkok, the more difficulties u will find in communication especially.
There have been an issue that they want to remove this market at least 2km away from the railway. It is because of the safety purpose.
For me, it is cool to let this market operates as it is. For the locals here, Maeklong is their home and they were there first, the train came along later on. This will be one of a kind in the world, so just let the market be there.
Let the ‘undisturbed maeklong’ being undisturbed forever.
