A Portrait

I took this photo since January during my visit to a school in Kampong Tho for inauguration ceremony preparation. It looks much better after cropping and color adjustment.

It Is Gone

The General Department of National Radio has stopped functioning for a long time. Recently the abandoned establishment located on a prime location was completely pulled down. I have no idea what will be replaced in return? Is it another development?

On 16 August 2009. There were some parking cars, though no operation was seen.

This maybe the main building. Some documents was scattered inside.

Studio No 6 with only a mob inside.

Central Market, Phnom Penh

Last month my friend and I scouted around both in downtown and outskirt of Phnom Penh for the whole morning for our shooting. Central Market was one of the places we dropped on that day for some shootings and lunch. The lobster, not what we usually order for lunch, was not bad. Below are some of the photos.

The renovated section of Central Market from the main gate.

Inside the doom of Central Market. By now I think this part is under renovation.

Independence Day

A Photo from last year.

My First HDR Attempt

Banan Temple, Battambang. It looks a bit blurry as the three shots with different exposure were taken without a tripod. Probably there is a better process to render it. I just simply do not know how-to.

Norry- Bamboo Train of Cambodia

Norry is very well advertised both in guidebooks and at hotels or guesthouses frequented by tourists. It is even included in the top ten experiences highlighted by well-loved Lonely Planet, and was my last experience amongst the ten. An approximate one hour ride can cause you about 15 bucks per lorry if you are a tourist. Khmers will receive some discount, 8 dollars in my case. Since it became a big tourism draw in Battambang, I guess the locals can generate pretty good incomes from the service. If the project to bring back Cambodia train is on tracks, this service will come to an end in a few years from now.

It is faster than I thought. The driver said there are failures sometime. No guarantee.

A Lorry from opposite direction. As an unspoken rule, when two nollies reaches intersection on this single track, the norry with less passengers or loads need to be dismantled and make the way for the heavier one to move on.

We got off at the same place where we started the ride. It is a returned trip.
