On the Road to Pai [Super-Takumar 55mm f1.8]

road sign between chiang mai and pai

Chiang Mai to Pai on a scooter. I’d done it before, but I wanted to do it again, and I wanted to do it differently. Photographically differently. The previous times I’d been to Pai I’d shot in colour, because that’s what people do when shooting travel photography, isn’t it?

To make this trip different, I decided to go less ‘travel’ and more ‘road trip’. A classic, monochrome, echoes-of-the-50s road trip. That didn’t mean merely shooting the same pictures but in black and white. It meant a whole different feel to both the individual images and the set as a whole.

A classic monochrome road trip then, in Northern Thailand. Come and see how it turned out.
