5The survey recently posted on the BPG Facebook group gave us an unexpected result - we
discovered that quite a surprising number of group members had no idea that they were
welcome to join the walks regardless of their experience, skill level and equipment! To repeat what
we’ve been saying since then, you are absolutely welcome, whether you’re a first-timer shooting
on your phone or an industry veteran with professional-grade kit (or anything between). It was a
delight to see that so many people took us at our word.
An impressive 60 photographers of all levels joined us at Saphan Taksin BTS station on
the rather overcast morning of the walk, 45 of whom went on to submit photos for this issue
of Bangkok Photo Walks. That makes this the longest issue Ben has put together for us by a
considerable margin. In fact, it’s nearly 200 pages long! Fortunately, the route that walk-whisperer
Mark selected for us contained no shortage of variety and interesting features, as many of you
mentioned at the time. The resulting images you’ll see across the following pages show that
diversity of subjects in the area just as well as they show the diversity of talents in the group.
As we gallop towards the end of the year, remember to go back over the photos you have
taken and select your best for the Vision 2022 project. Organised by BPG founders Dennie and
DK, this is an opportunity for everyone in the Bangkok Photographers Group to showcase their
finest work. Your submissions do not have to be from a walk - they don’t even have to have been
taken in Thailand! There is no set theme, though there are some restrictions on subject matter
(no nudity and gore, for example). Dennie and DK will select their favourites, which will go into a
printed photobook, and the cream of the crop will be offered a place in two gallery exhibitions
in Bangkok in 2023. Head to the BPG Facebook group to find more information about how to
submit your work.
Have fun,
Greg, Ben and Mark.
