When Dad saw the camera in my hands, he changed directions and came to me at high speed; the boy in the front was showing me the snake like he did thousands times already, while the girl behind him was hiding the baby’s face. I felt I was seen like one of the numerous tourists visiting the floating village of Chong Khneas, this was so artificial and sad; when I went back to the riverside, a little girl was waiting for me with a plate where my picture was printed. I bought is for $5.

This young Buddhist monk was visiting a Temple in Angkor. He told me that he does not gain money because he does not have the right nor to gain, nor to spend it. He does not work as he needs to dedicate his life to spiritual tasks; the young Buddhist monk lives on charity, his life depends on others generosity.

” I am orphan, my Mum died from malaria, my Dad was killed by the soldiers of the Red Khmers. I teach french and english lessons in my village”. Kimlhet was my guide to visit the Angkor ruins, and he spent the full day with me for …$10… when time came to have lunch, he brought me to a little place in the middle of the jungle, he started going to the kitchen side, I could tell he wanted to have a great plate of chicken and rice with me but he was too discreet to show it. Kimlhet proposed to show me a quiet place where four monks were praying while singing; he started to play that instrument, with that impressive smile on his face. I admired him. I still do.

It was 6 am and she was looking at the sunrise over a lake near the ruins of Angkor. She agreed I take a picture of her, but forgot my presence the second she said yes. She was getting prepared for a long day selling souvenirs she made herself for the tourists coming from all over the world.

He had the perfect San Franciscan style: the cap, the tee shirt with the shirt, the iphone, the beard, the glasses and the tattoos, was just missing his skate board. When I told him I wanted to take a picture because he looked to me like the image I had of San Franciscans, he said “Spot on man, I live in New York and I am from Australia!”.

He was trying to fix his earring when I approached to ask him if I could take a picture. He then raised his arms towards the sky as to call his God. He then took a nasty face. He had chains hunged on his nipples
