25 JANUARY 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: The man who operates a small one person workshop making heavy chains for boat anchors bends the heated steel into shape. The metal for the chains is heated until it glows red and then it's pounded into shape. The Talat Noi neighborhood in Bangkok started as a blacksmith's quarter. As cars and buses replaced horse and buggy, the blacksmiths became mechanics and now the area is lined with car mechanics' and blacksmiths' shops. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
