Memories of Cambodia

[Equatorer]

Fascinating series!

I just returned from siem reap 4 days ago, there was really plenty of inspiration shooting those temples and people.

Did not have enough time planning ahead before the trip, luckily can still learn those knowledge here

Ryan, I like this last photo very much. Not because of the naked boys but the timing of this shot was really perfect. I noticed the girl about to dive into the river. Beautiful scene...

the one who caught more of my attention is the one who act like a monkey god on the fence. of cos on closer look, i started looking at the boy on the far right croaching slightly forward, and wondering .....

Thanks for the comments.
Glad you liked them

The *monkey god* was the cheekiest and made funny gestures to the tourists that zipped by. He actually found a bundle of ?grass and laid on his head like a wig of some sorts.

The other boy on the right might be fertilizing the river

yah, the grass is what catches most of my attention too. it help to make a marking of separation too as there is some overlapping of the girl jumping into the river and his hair, both dark.

Going thru this thread, i felt like i was going thru a angkor wat Discovery and TRavel channel documentary...i am planning to go there in March...will be there at Siem Reap only about 3 days at most...what is your recommended must visit places for photography? and what is the contact for the Peace place that you stayed?

Hi,

I really don't know how I missed your thread because I usually read all the threads in this section

Anyways, I admire your work.

Like jeanie has said, there's no need for us to go to Angkor Wat anymore. You've shot such wonderful photos that anything I shoot will look sub-standard. There are so many favourites that I won't bother listing them here. Really fascinating photos. I will be coming to this thread again and again to enjoy your photos and will direct my friends to your thread whenever they mention Angkor Wat

[wranger]

Nice Series

[giantcanopy]

I think jeanie will bring back interesting memories as well
