LOS ANGELES — A Thai street photographer has won first place in an international competition and will exhibit his work in Los Angeles next month.

Photographer Tavepong “Pong” Pratoomwong was named the winner of the second annual Street Shooting Around the World contest on Tuesday by the Los Angeles Center of Photography, where his six winning snapshots will be shown for a month beginning Feb.12.

“Shooting street photography is fun because it can be done anywhere,” Tavepong said today. “You don’t need to go for a long trip or on a photography tour to take a street photo. It actually surrounds our routine lives, only the moments you capture.”

He came out on top from 142 photographers who entered more than 1,250 photographs into the competition. To reward his visual creativity, Tavepong will receive USD$1,000 (36,000 baht).

Where's the street?

"It actually surrounds our routine lives, only the moments you capture."

The BIB need to drug test this guy if that picture is what he sees.

Unbelievably impressive what an effect a 180° turn of a picture can produce. Great!

Looks quite common if shown like this:
