This man, maybe my age, maybe older, pushing a cart stacked with popcorn, was my only shot that entire day.

A livelihood on wheels.

As a popcorn buff, how could I not photograph this?

I love walking around Bangkok and letting serendipity hand me scenes worthy of an exposure or two. This city doesn’t curate itself or hand out ready-made Insta posts or viral TikToks. It offers relentless, gritty authenticity alongside sugar-coated promises and lofty dreams that swell and sweeten as the day wears into night.

I regret not buying a bag of the man’s popcorn.
