Angkor Wat always comes to mind whenever Siem Reap or Cambodia is mentioned. This is the other side of the famous tourist town of Cambodia.

Here are some photos I took when I visited the Tonle Sap Fishing Village. I found it peculiar that the slummy part of the area is not as stinky as the squatters area here.

Anyway my favorite sight are the child beggars seen paddling around the river who greet you with the phrase "Hello lady, what is your name? you give me one dollar" Kid, I'm Filipino, I also want a dollar.

Tams,

Why do our streetchildren/less fortunate brothers look worse than theirs?

Oh, I also want dollars... take note: not just one.

Ay naku, they look adorable at first then they go psycho when you don't give them anything. "But lady I need dollar and pencil for school!"

I want $10,000! New lens, a handbag and a dark room

Thanks Bernard! I was supposed to sleepover in one of the floating houses but I was tired of charades and I couldn't afford another day with a translator and boat rental $40. Hay

Here's more ;-)

Thanks John! who friends? sina Paolo? they were participants last year and this year, sila naman magsa-slideshow. Philippines, represent!

I am moved by this picture. The subject is surrounded by equally powerful elements that tells a lot of story; partly hidden car battery, wall-in-one cabinet, fruit salad mantel, thermos.

WOW!

I'm back from the Angkor Photo Festival. Since I'm not a participant of the workshop (The Filipino participants produced kick a$$ slideshows this year though! yeah) this year, I had time to go around and went back to my beloved Tonle Sap.

Ito muna.

DONATE A BEAR!

A thousand bears for Bicol (http://nancydrewandme.blogspot.com/2006/12/thousand-bears-for-bicol.html)

Lupet Tammy, congrats and they're truly great captures... L6 din ba?

Nice captures Tammy. We didn't have time to go to Tonle Sap last time, will make it a point to visit when we go back. Thanks for sharing!

like the bike shot Tammy!

Thanks Guys!!

@ David Tong: Nope! I took the teddy bear photo with my dSLR na. I have a bunch of great L6 photos. I'll post them later. I'm going to miss my L6. I donated it to a NGO since I have already three cameras. "Give love on Chreeeeeesmas day!"

Here's more Siem Reap snappies but they're mostly outtakes from the festival :p

Hi Earl what's up Mr. 5000? I just got back Cambodia/KL yesterday. Though going to Cambodia is always a treat (since it is the ULTIMATE photo trip destination ranging from photojournalism to landscape)...I just wish we have our own Photo Festival here in the Philippines. We've got better talent than the ones I saw in some slideshows.

*sigh*

I'm going with Gawad Kalinga on the 13th til the 15th. Let me know if you want to come with us.

Bulit, Tata Romy, Papa Jay, Luis Liwanag and the others pulled out already to cover ASEAN. Jason from AFP is still there and he told me yesterday if I want third world Katrina photos (dead bodies everywhere, relief shots etc.) then I should head to Bicol ASAP.

I was like a maniac yelling at the kid to look at me "MADDOX! MADDOX!"

My exact reaction when I saw the 1st pic! Nice series you have here... :)

Same here. I'm 23 and still in college. Sucks. I'm paying for all those years of slacking and cutting classes.
