A Walk Around The Block In E-BOOK

A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK IN a STREET PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK by JULIAN BOUND.

Street photography taken in Asia's golden hour of 5pm to 6pm.

With over 80 photographs in colour and black and white.

30 minute strolls around the block in the cities of India, Cambodia, Thailand and Nepal, amid the organised chaos of traffic and footfall, dust and noise.

From a walk along the Ghats of Varanasi, India, on the shores of the River Ganges to the bustling streets and sois of Bangkok, Thailand, where tuk-tuk drivers jostle for position between buses and food stalls. Cambodia and its capital Phnom Penh, where Buddhist monks give roadside blessings in cooling, early evening heat, and to the shop lined alleyways of Kathmandu, Nepal, where dimly lit doorways become illuminated by the smiles held within.
