Bangkok, Thailand
November 2004

My most published photo,
this also won awards in various online competitions.

Ironically, the story behind this shot was very straightforward.
I told Noon, a student in my class,
that I would take a picture of her the next day.

Towards the end of the class period that day,
I sneaked out of the classroom with her,
positioned her in the corridor,
threw in a veil that I bought from Laos,
focused on her eyes
and clicked thrice.

Some good things happen right before your eyes.
