Phnom Penh is a river town... |
...where the Tonli Sap... |
... and Mekong Rivers... |
...join together. |
Napping on the Sisovath Quay, the riverfront promenade. |
Very young vendors ply their goods. |
I could not make this girl smile, even after buying water from her, and buying some fruit for her. |
It wouldn't be Phnom Penh without an elephant crapping before your eyes, as you're having breakfast. |
Fresh fruit vendor. |
Fast food, Khymer style. |
Fast food at the market. |
Dancin' in the street. He's selling a deliciously sweet lime drink, only 500 riels a bag. |
The poor side of town... |
...is Stung Meanchey... |
...life's a little bit harder in this part of town... |
... but no less rewarding. |
The garbage dump at Stung Meanchey. |
There are people sifting through the smoky mounds. |
Looking for anything of value... |
...that hasn't already burned. |
Young and old, working side by side. |
Young girl uses a tool for picking through the trash. |
Another young worker. |
Searching the surface. |
Always watching the ground... |
... so not to miss anything of use. |
Back breaking work. |
Break time. |
Tuol Sleng, prison during the Pol Pot regime. |
Skulls of some of the prison's victims. |
A torture room, where one of the last 14 victims was found. |
A prison cell, about 3x6 feet. Prisoners who survived the day were chained up here at night. |
There are several rooms full of photographs of the victims. |
The victims were of all ages. |
Hundreds of tortured faces. |
Implements of torture, and paintings depicting them in use. |
Palm tree in Infrared. |
Barb wired fences... |
...rendered in infrared... |
... at Tuol Sleng. |
With my friends at Tonli Bati. |
I made a photo of this same young lady five years prior. I brought a print of it just in case I ran into her again. |
With her younger sister. |
And her best friend. |
By the lake at Tonli Bati. |
It's all good. |
Ta Phrom temple... |
... rendered in infrared. |
A few more... |
...b&w infrared images... |
... from Tonli Bati... |
... near Phnom Penh. |
