Photo Title: Lifestyle of Rural Cambodian
Photo Explanation: When I was doing my field study at a remote village in Kampong Speu province, I observed that most of the residents are farmers. When I saw an old woman making palm sugar, I asked her permission and took her photo. Having asked her several questions, I learnt that in her village most farmers earn their living by making palm sugar besides crop cultivation. She also added that palm trees are another resource of income for her villagers. |

Photo Title: An Evening Life of a Countryside Boy
Photo Explanation: I was off from work, driving from rural village back to Chikreng District Center (in Siem Reap) where my office bases. I saw several children; two of whom were fishing, and two had just been off from school. I went by and talked to them. I told them I'd like to take some photos. They were shy, especially, the fishing boy and his younger sister who was there helping. I sat looking at them and at sunset for a while longer, waiting for scenes which they would be looking natural. They were looking for a meal for their family. It's also part of their recreational activities. |
