On a busy avenue in Bangkok, a scene frozen in black and white captures everyday life in the Thai capital. At a standstill, a line of cars and motorbikes waits patiently for the traffic lights to turn green. The contrasting light accentuates the shapes and details of the vehicles, each with its own story to tell. Motorbikes, a fast and agile means of transport, are ubiquitous in Bangkok's crowded streets, often used to bypass the dense traffic. The larger cars symbolise a slower but no less hurried pace of life. The black and white photography creates a timeless atmosphere and gives this modern urban scene a retro charm. The light and shadows accentuate each line of the vehicles and capture the essence of a city in motion, even in the stillness of a stoplight. This shot is a tribute to the urban architecture and means of transport that punctuate life in Bangkok.
