Life in the Aircraft Graveyard

  • Photographer
    Takashi Nakagawa, Japan

Bangkok is one of the most developed city in south east Asia but
still number of poor is high. A couple of years ago, two abandoned
aircrafts were left by a cash-strapped investor to rot in east of
Bangkok. Since then a couple of poor families started living and
selling junk for life. There are currently no plan to move it to the
other place.

Takashi Nakagawa, born in 1981, is a self-taught photographer, traveler, and visual story teller based in Tokyo, Japan.

He has been traveling around the world and shooting stories of people, culture, and society.

Currently he has been focusing on taking photos of Asian Culture and Buddhism.
