Airplane Graveyard

those days, status-obsessed locals would shuffle over to Charoen Krung Road, Bangrak’s main drag, elbowing through steamy markets and stalls selling jok, or Chinese rice porridge, to submit to an eternity of long-winded wedding toasts.My father, however, had better ideas. He and I would show up, make our rounds politely, then decamp to the nearby Oriental hotel, now the Mandarin Oriental (doubles from $420), his old friend Nelson in tow. Over cocktails, the men would hatch outlandish plans. They dreamed of launching Bangkok’s first yoga studio, and a hospital-themed aperitif bar called the Pulse. My father, a physician, and Nelson, a flaneur who dressed in crisp linen suits, had no business sense, and when they did eventually put their schemes in motion, both immediately flopped.if they’d only waited a few decades, their ideas might have gone down better. Because today, Bangrak is the epicenter of Bangkok’s Creative District,

Temple in Bangkok

Hipsters Are Taking Over This Bangkok Neighborhood — and You're Going to Want to Try Their Cocktails On the banks of the Chao Phraya River, a new generation of artists, designers, and chefs have created some of the Thai capital’s most exciting places to visit. Ask anyone who, like me, grew up in Bangkok in the 1970s, and they’ll tell you about suffering through interminable weddings at a riverside hotel in Bangrak, one of the Thai capital’s oldest districts. In a trio of neighborhoods populated by artists, designers, chefs, and musicians. Lured by low rents and a postindustrial aesthetic, these upstart entrepreneurs are renovating shop-houses and using them to reinvent izakaya food, say, or experiment with artisanal spirits. Young and edgy, the Creative District has become the city’s must-visit destination.Although the Creative District is anchored in Bangrak, it includes neighboring Talat Noi as

Zarnizar prefers travel and lifestyle shots with human elements in his posts. The freelance content creator and photographer has been on Instagram since 2012 and uses it as a platform to express his creative shots, especially landscape and travel scenes.“Initially, I used Instagram as a platform to share my daily chores such as going to the laundry, buying groceries, etc but later I decided to focus on one genre travel photography,” says that a focus on the postings leads to more followers and makes one a better Instagramer. Zarnizar shares a lot of beautiful shots around Malaysia and the places he travels. For his professional work, he uses his heavy camera equipment but for his Instagram shots, he prefers the iPhone XR. “It’s easier to shoot with a phone as it is with you all the time. Camera technology in phones has also improved a lot over the years, making them as good as a camera,” he says. He adds that using a phone also makes it easier to post the photos on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Being a professional, Zarnizar’s photos on his Instagram are well-composed.“It’s important to know the rules of photography such as rules of third, composition, leading lines and reflection,” he says, adding that he always activates the grid lines on his phone to make it easy to compose photos.HASHTAG POWER While good and consistent content are important, one also needs to know the right way to hashtag # photos. For instance, if one uses an iPhone, use the #shotoniphone #shotoniphoneXR or hashtags related to the location of the photos.

“Also ensure that you don’t change that hashtags that you use weekly to maintain consistency,” says fear. Urban photography has now become a trend in photography community as there is no specific type or requirement for it; you basically have your own freedom to express your creativity. On his point of view, he prefers his works to have tall buildings and cityscapes because of his love for geometry and pattern elements. Usually his best photos are mostly planned shots but his personal favourite ones are always the best when they are taken spontaneously as they make himself feel special and proud. It all started from just a hobby for a petroleum engineering student from UiTM Shah Alam. After being introduced to Instagram by a close friend of his in 2010 (which is also the start of Instagram), Shafiq decided to use his mobile phone to capture all the pictures. “The right camera is whatever you have at the moment.” During his study, he always went out whenever he got his free time just to shoot some photos. Now, photography has become his passion and he wants to take photography seriously since he graduated in November 2014 so he bought himself a better equipment - a Fujifilm mirrorless camera. Shafiq began his journey with his brandnew mirrorless camera and throughout the year, he managed to expose himself with some local yet established clothing line brands. One of his favorite brands is Super Sunday as the brand helps his career to grow rapidly. Shafiq also got tips and techniques from TTFGA who also known as ‘Tukang tangkap foto gambar anda’. Shafiq went to his shooting and learned from there. That was the start of having the thought of buying his first full frame DSLR camera and using his own savings, he bought one. Buying a full frame one is really expensive so in order to refill his savings back, he was determined to come out with something that can repay the camera. In his personal opinion of any kind of art industry including photography, our government needs to expose themselves into the industry as it still need to be developed more. He wants people from the outside to actually see and
