Ari at Night

I'm trying to become a better photographer. Over the years living in Thailand, my photography skills have certainly improved. I try to document both my everyday life and my big adventures as much as possible, but I've come to realize that the visual medium is perhaps even more important than the words that I write in my blog posts. After all, a picture is worth 1,000 words, right?

One of my big weaknesses is night photography. Because of my weird work schedule, I'm rarely outside after dark, and when I am, I don't do much besides walk to and from the train station. Last night, I went to go pick up my wife from the hospital where she works in the hip and trendy Ari neighborhood. I've been here hundreds of times, but decided to walk out a little early to photograph it, focusing mostly on mood, light, and color.

It's my first real attempt at nighttime city photography, but I'll try to keep up with these posts from time to time. I hope to see some real improvement in this area over the coming months. It was just around 8:30 pm, but I tried to capture the mood, atmosphere, and feeling of late night in a big Asian city.
