sunshine in a sack Photo

Photographer’s Note

I could try to explain what it's like in Battambang, or write a short essay on it's history.

Sometimes though, you take a picture and it's not your best. Not even close to great from a technical standpoint. Not artistically unique. Yet it means more to you than almost any other you have. Because what you captured kept pace with the memory of what happened just before or what happened just after. Maybe your perspective seemed a little different afterwards.

This one was that moment. So I'm uploading the photo to be seen at face value.

Well said Clifton - you could not explain. The only way to actually realize is to go and see for one's self. Great photo. I really like the composition and color. The background lends itself nicely to the girl also.

Hi Clifton,

This is wonderful portrait of lovely young lady. Is she collecting waste paper? Or she is helping to her family. I like your exact timing and her looks with excellent blurry background. Your photo has included natural colors and sharpness. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul
