A youngster that lived at the orphanage we visted. I bought a big box of noodles and hil bought a mosquito net for them. Our "generosity" was well appreciated by the kids, they were so happy!
This guy lost his leg to a land mine. not sure if it was in the war, or just unexploded ordinance.
These two girls were on the outside of the fence surrounding the killing fields we visited. They repeatedly begged us for money and followed us along the fence. We didn't want to give them money because a lot of the time the parents make their kids do that and then keep the money, so when one of them asked for water, i happily handed my bottle over the fence.
I'm not too sure what happened to this guy, I didn't have much time to stop and shoot him. I think it's likely that it was an explosion of some kind. I gave him a dollar for a photo. he was nice.
You are taking amazing pictures my friend! We will need to talk about a possible showing upon your return.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.

ReplyDeleteI've been reading Anthony Bourdaine's second book lately and I just finished reading about his stay in Saigon and it reminded me...I hope you drank some Vietnamese coffee for me. The way he described it...oh man. All of it looks and sounds pretty amazing.
The photos are lovely, as always. Be well and stay safe Muffin.
Warmth.
thanks pops!! im happy with a few of them myself! and there are others that i havent touched..lots of work to do.
ReplyDeletemanda, we've had vietnamese coffee everyday. even in cambodia now. but i first had it in toronto and its pretty much the same. go to the golden turtle dundas and ossington.
The 2nd last photo is lovely, really interested to hear the background story. Shameful you couldn't have more time.
ReplyDeletehanks pal! ya it was difficult to stop for long because we were heading back to the 'tuk tuk' to drive to another location. so i only had about 30 seconds to snap a few. it would be good to talk to the people more, but most of the time we're either in a rush, or we're being harrassed by a hundred swarming people asking for money, or it's just too damn hot to stand in the sun. and of course a lot of the time they don't speak much if any english. but im tryin and regardless, im happy with some of the photos ive taken so far. some are kind of typical shots a traveller might take, but i still like them because I took them :)
ReplyDeleteanyway, i didnt take a single photo today, ill have to get back on it before its too late.
love ya
