Photographer’s Note

Take 2...

Cambodia (and I assume it is true for most of Southern Asia) is populated with motor bikes. EVERYWHERE!!!

In Cambodia especially, driving rules are advisory only. Brake pads must cost a fortune because everybody seems to be driving with one thing in mind: I have to use the brakes as seldom as possible!

Crossing the street is quite an adventure let me tell you that! A round about, even more fun. We caught on a movie how dazzling this was but I'm still waiting for TrekMovieEarth.

In North America, where I live, a families that reaches 2 children figure out they absolutely need a minivan.

In Cambodia, I saw five people on a moto! One of the passengers was a young woman breast feeding her baby!

One thing is for sure, nobody will accuse the Cambodians of lacking creativity!

MeAT :)

Note: I'm posting my original posting that was refused as a workshop.

Hi Mathieu,
Nice tight cropping ... focuses the main details you want portrayed. This kind of transportation is quite good on congested cities ... beats the traffic. Well done ... tfs.
Cheers,
Renier

Hi Mathieu, An unusual posting but you have managed the light very well & I love the main colour that very vivid red, good frame to assist the shot & there is great focus & some nice detail, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Mathieu,
This goes together well with red framing, and the frame even make the picture more focus. Well done....
If you come to Phnom Penh, Crossing the street is even more adventurous to you. To be a foreigner, you have to be very flexible and very very skillful in adapting to these kid of traffic.

Amazing job on the framing!! It really helps to enhance the actual picture colors.
Also a really interesting view point...and though I was admittedly skeptical when you took this shot, the outcome is quite impressive!!
