Bangkok Punk
Chatuchak Market – Bangkok
...this dude was selling some cool tee’s after all the other stalls had shut up shop off a rack in the carpark. Bought one from him for 200bht and then just asked if I could take a couple of shots of him which he was very cool about. I think he was pretty keen that I got the mohawk from side on as he turned his head twice between shots – left and right, and that was it. He told me that he was into photography himself so I got his email address and sent this shot to him the other day…his reply was – “I GOT YOUR PIX. I LIKE YOUR PIX.”

Hardcore drama. Wonderful punk shot. It’s a great irony really, free to be turned out in wild unconventionality of body and style, a capitalist selling t-shirts. And wearing “exploited” on his chest.
Mark Hayward replied
Thanks Barbara. I guess even the punk free spirit’s of this world have to make a living somehow, particularly in a society such as Thailand where it’s very much dog eat dog, and perhaps not as ‘supportive’ of it’s citizens in respect to ‘social-security’, who choose, or simply don’t neccessarily fit the capitalist driven mould.
