Close-up Cambodia?

















































Cambodia is filled with ruins and temples and while most people enjoy capturing the entire image, I learned during my trip that I enjoy taking close-up shots of things gone unnoticed. Perhaps it goes unnoticed to most, but not to me. I find myself curiously searching for these moments. When I see it, my eye gets a feast and I can't stop taking them. How do I know that this is it? I just know. My eyes and mind are satiated. Maybe this is my calling in the field of photography -- Getting up close and personal! ;) See through my eyes. Enjoy.

The Best of Cambodia


























How does one choose the "best of" pictures among thousands of shots? My process: Go through pictures -- one at a time, pick "best of 100's", then narrow it down to "best of 10's", post process it (one at a time), and then wah lah, you got the "best of". Was that tiresome to just read my process of what? Tell me about it! Taking pictures is a piece of cake - you just shoot away, but the post processing and selecting them is such a time consuming project. Its been well over 3 weeks and I am finally getting to my Cambodia pictures. My goal to post these before the end of the month is accomplished. Its done. And now for the verdict. Anyone?
