Old woman at the entrance of an ancient buddhist temple in Angkorwat, waiting for donations.

Shooting from a Tuk Tuk. These are children who return from a small school near the sites of Angkorwat. Along these roads you can see long lines of children all wearing this kind of uniforms, returning alone to their houses or huts. Sometimes walking others by bikes often bigger than themselves.

A group of Buddhists inhabiting the temples of AngkorWat.

At the local market in Cambodia, the kids help their parents on selling goods... and here apparently we are talking about Best Quality products.

Especially in poor Countries like Cambodia, the kids choose the monk life that at least provide them something to eat daily. The sacrifices behind this "faith journey" are quite a pleasant outlook compared to the starvation.

Shot taken among the ruins of Angkorwat. The different reactions of the monks after seeing the photographer... me.

"he shot me down,
Bang Bang
I hit the ground,
Bang Bang
That awful sound,
Bang Bang
my baby shot me down.."

Siem Reap is a small town near the site of AngkorWat. Many of the houses here are simple shacks and huts. This was a small shantytown near my hostel.

The harsh law of the market does not spare anyone.. older and younger. In these countries it is normal to see sellers of all ages. For many is the only way to get by.
