176. sliced durian at a market in bangkok

spiky
intensely pungent
unquestionably unique
loved by some, hated by others
opinions opinions
say what they say
be who you are
listen to your self
honor what is pure
it comes from within
go inside
let it shine

walking around in the streets of bangkok, i ran into this soda machine by a dark alley. i have always been fascinated with type, calligraphy, the stroke of a letter, a straight line juxtaposed by a curved accent. it’s an exhilarating experience to witness the bravery of a letter. so it’s no surprise i was stunned by these backlit letters on red. there was also a tickle in the brain to see a sign that has become so ubiquitous across the planet being shown in a different language, i stand thrilled to experience the unknown.
