Though the centre remained dry, the sense of dread that hung over the city deepened, as Bangkok became an island encircled by waterlogged houses, streets and motorways. \u201cIt is this sense of fearful waiting that first drew me to the project,\u201d says Miti Ruangkritya. \u201cWhether the floods have been experienced firsthand or through news reports, conjuring a mental image of the event can\u2019t be avoided. This influenced me to shoot these scenes as if they\u2019ve been developed from the subconscious, in contrast to the media\u2019s urgent, frenetic reportage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each scene takes place at night or in the early hours, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The series is deliberately shot at these light-challenged times using a tripod and slow shutter speed, in order to capture the stillness, the dread-filled suspense of waiting for the floods to come.<\/p>\n<p>Miti Ruangkritya, an emerging photographer who has won many international photographic competitions, was born in Bangkok in 1981. He graduated with an MA in photojournalism from University of Westminster, London, in 2008.<\/p>\n<p><em>www.mi-ti.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0e08\u0e34\u0e19\u0e15\u0e19\u0e32\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33\u0e17\u0e48\u0e27\u0e21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u0e19\u0e34\u0e17\u0e23\u0e23\u0e28\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e20\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e16\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e42\u0e14\u0e22<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0e21\u0e34\u0e15\u0e34
