Amateur photographer Thamarong Wanarithikul spent his Saturdays on a footbridge capturing eye-catching vehicles. His photos show common scenes people see on the streets but do not take time to scrutinise. Photos of a truck decorated with lights on its front, a three-wheeled motorcycle carrying various sizes of brooms and motorcycles carrying things like tyres, orange traffic cones and fruits in plastic bags are showcased at the exhibition "Footbridge" at 6060 Arts Space. The highlight of the photo series is colourful Vespas carrying various loads, which recently scooped Silver Winner at the Tokyo International Photo Contest 2021.
"This was my first international award and I am thrilled to win it. As an amateur photographer, I did not expect to win the silver award. I participated in this contest because I sent photos of Vespas to many galleries, but there was no feedback. Due to the contest, I learned how to write a description to give meaning to the photos," Thamarong said.
