Cambodia part 2 – A photo essay (non portraits)

In March of 2008, I took a 3 country trip through Asia (see my past posts “Portraits of Cambodian People”, “Vietnam Modes of Transportation”, and “Taiwan – Portrait of a Nation”, and “Kaohsiung, Taiwan 2008”).

I recently had some time to look back on photos from that trip and there’s tons of images I want to get out there that didn’t make the first pass. It’s funny how sometimes your best work doesn’t come out until long after the experience, when you have the benefit of hindsight. This post gives a small glimpse of what I saw in Cambodia during my 5 day stay.
