Phnom Penh Street Scene, a photo from Phnum Penh, West

Photographer's Note

Morning commute on the streets of Phnom Penh.
This was taken over the head of my moto-taxi driver using a pocketable APS film camera and the pic was later scanned to digital. If I could go back in time 6 years I would have carried a better camera on this trip.

It is always good for me to see picture from home. That makes me feel so close to home all the time. Your POV is interesting. However, if you can make it sharper, it would be more interesting.

Welcome to TE!

Indeed, I recognize the street, very close from the Central market and even closer to the mini-van "bus" station. I shopped at that Konica store!
Too bad for the lack of sharpness, seems like a scan and that may explain it. I notice the platform sneakers of the young woman. It was the craze all over S.E.Asia then.

Thanks for this contribution.

Considering the conditions and camera you used this is still a very fascinating picture. The film gives it a very light serene feel even though it is of a busy street. Thanks for sharing!
