 Working girl.

Patpong, Bangkok.


I stopped and sat down after walking for a while. I was shooting Patpong - kind of dangerous really. I was tired and hungry and needed the break.

I could not help but observe her sitting at one of the adjoining bars and having a drink. I wanted her to stand up and walk so I could take a few shots.

She gets a call and gets up and leaves immediately.

I grabbed my camera and shot 2 while she was lighting a cigarette. She could see me shooting her and gave me a stern look.

Lady is nicely framed by the doorway and white containers. Not enough here to really get a sense of what you are trying to convey. She definitely has l - o - n - g legs.

although she walks in the eyes of greatness, I think she shall remain nameless....

A bit freaky, but I like that in a girl. Well, in a photograph of a girl. Thank you. 7.

Sorry but just too blurry and not really that interesting, no exciting composition, gave it a 3, thought I´d at least explain why.

I love the ambiguity of her eyes - is she looking at you or straight ahead? There's an interesting fragility in the way she carries herself.
