PHOTO ESSAY : FLUKE

TEXT & PHOTO: WATTIKON KOSONKIT

“Work, save up some money and start traveling.” A piece of advice from my former and last boss. There’s nothing unusual about an architect and his architectural pilgrimes, with old favorites and new works of architecture being the desired destinations. But for someone who typically works until the last minute before going on a trip, the equipment I tend to grab with me are usually somewhat unfitting for the inclination to photograph all the gorgeous built structures I encounter. The journeys where I get to see incredible architecture become something imprinted in my memories. While I cannot fully capture the beauty and magnitude of the architecture I admire, my endeavor to memorize all their possible details often leads me to notice the people being inside and outside of buildings and their interactions, manners and behaviors.

I’ve begun to pay more attention to the people. As someone who’s far from being called a professional photographer, to wait for a subject to perfectly enter a frame is practically impossible. When going on each trip, from picking up the wrong lens for my camera to capturing the right moments, I don’t know what else to call these pictures rather than a fluke.
