Watching over the city Photo

Photographer’s Note

City spy?
Watch out! That's a security cam.
They were placed in every main junction of the city.
For a government's security reason.
To watch over all of us?
To catch up with teen culture?
To take care of tourist?
To observe the traffic?
To detect any terrorist?
For whatever reason, we're watched.
We are in her sight. She's just around the cornor watching at us all day and night.

This is just a giant poster of a pretty girl looking through a security cam at Silom junction, downtown Bangkok.

Hi Pongnakorn, I like the composition and the B&W treatment. Could have been improved slightly by moving a little to the left and opening a small gap between the models face and the gantry. Best regards, Roberto

Hi Kenggaroo!

Very impressive gallery! You have a special "eye" for details and "strange" perspectives. This is a great photo, about a very important issue of the modern times, the "big brother" thing. Allthough I wouldn't mind if that gorgeous lady was looking at me. Anyway, Congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Pongnakorn. Like your use of the poster and the camera. Also like the B&W as it stops us being distracted from the main theme. I heard a few weeks ago that the UK has 20% of all the worlds surveillance cameras. It wouldn't surprise me.
Nice gallery too.
