Friday Foto – Kelly Anthony Photography – Wedding and Portrait Photography Melbourne
The great thing about photographs is that they are able to capture a moment in time and you can look back at them, any time you like, and be reminded of the moments that are associated with that image. It’s one of the reasons we love taking photos for other people and the places we visit – it’s so that you can enjoy the the story that frames each image. Looking back through the archives I found a few photos that I don’t think I’ve posted online previously. These images are from our last week in Cambodia, in a place called Kampot. After spending a year living in Cambodia and now settling back into life in Melbourne, there are many emotions, memories and things that we associate with our time there. The memories associated with these particular photos are ones of relaxing in Kampot by the river, going on bike rides along dirt roads through the country side and feeling the breeze on the riverside and watching life unfold. Hope you enjoy this week’s “Friday Foto” – Something which we’ll try and do on a weekly basis so stay turned for more images every Friday.

A Cambodian man checking fishing traps in the morning on the river. On this particular day, the river was very still and smooth during, making for great reflections in the water. Location: Kampot. We spent the weekend relaxing by the river, eating, reading and enjoying the views – a very productive weekend! This particular image is composed of 3 photos stitched together.
Taking photos with Tim
The other day Tim and I went to find some old film cameras and take photos. Here are a couple from the past weekend. The camera at the bottom was a birthday present from our friends, Tim & Jessica. It’s a Olympus 35EC2 rangefinder camera from the 1970′s. It comes with a 42mm f2.8 Zuiko lens.
Weekly Photo – Kelly Anthony Photography
Rose City Condominiums – US$70 million construction project start in 2008 and scheduled to be completed mid 2011. Although judging by the current state of construction, I don’t think it will be finished on time. 29 stories high and located near the Sofitel hotel, it sticks out high above the rest of the skyline in Phnom Penh.

Day 28 photo (final image): The final image for this series. Captured the other night, it shows people dumping rubbish in a pile on the street for it to be sorted, collected and then taken away by rubbish collectors. Anything useful or that can be resold such as cardboard or recyclable material is separated to be sold. Photo info: D700, 50mm, f2, 1/40, ISO720

Day 27 photo: Eating dinner at the market. Took a stroll around the market at 6.30pm, when most of the sellers had packed up shop for the day and people are heading home or going out for dinner. This mother was eating dinner with her young son. Photo info: D700, 50mm, f2, 1/40, ISO640

Day 26 photo: Red Umbrella I am very interested in photographing pattern and detail. I think some of the most beautiful parts of life are found in the small details. I like the repetition of line and the cross hatching in this picture. This paper umbrella shaded us from the elements while we sipped coffee, chatted with friends and watched the world go by from a little café in Phnom Penh. (Kelly)

Day 25 photo: Waiting for the lights to turn green at a busy intersection in Phnom Penh. Traffic is mainly moto’s (50cc – 125cc scooters). Often companies will hand out leaflets at the lights and surprisingly everyone will accept the leaflet and read it as opposed to in Australia where we often dismiss people handing out leaflets.

Day 18 photo: A young teenager working to sort and recycle rubbish According to the World Bank, approximately 2% of the third world’s population sustain themselves from collecting and recycling rubbish. This 15 year old boy carries a load of plastic bottles to be loaded onto a truck. The bottles are often collected by young children carrying large sacks or pulling carts. They walk around the city, collecting these bottles and then trade them in for money. The rubbish is then sorted and placed in these large bags, to be transported to recycling companies. Across Cambodia an estimated 1.5 million children under 14 are forced to work, child advocacy groups say. They say that while most labor on family farms, up to 250,000 work in hazardous conditions while begging, scavenging waste, working in factories or mining. (source)

Day 17 photo: Limes and oranges for sugar cane drinks You can find sugar cane juice from little street carts all over Cambodia (and other countries). It’s basically crushed sugar cane to extract the juice, sometimes they will add in limes and other flavours. Then they pour the juice into a small plastic bag with ice, pop a straw in and there you have it – a take away sugar can juice drink. All for about 20 cents. It’s very sweet.

Day 16 photo: Coconut seller polishing his coconuts Coconuts are more dangerous than sharks. Falling coconuts kill 150 people every year which is 10 times the number of people killed by sharks. There are more than 20 billion coconuts produced each year. This means that only 1 in every 133.33 million coconuts are lethal.
