POINT BLANK: A SHORT ENCOUNTER

I asked people I met in public…  …on the street, in bars, hotels, restaurants…  …if I could take a potrait of them. Most of those short encounters were just for few seconds. One even ended in a really nice long chat.

There is this question of ‘How good you should know a person to do an authentic portrait?’  …and I asked myself ‘…and what will happen if you do a protrait of someone that you absolutely do not know?’ Will he/she put up a face the he/she want to show to the world?  …I will never know. But what I mean to see is, that there is something really personal in their features which raise the thrilling question of who these people could be like.

POINT BLANK: FLOATING VILLAGE II

If you want to reach these floating villages, you just have to follow the Tonle Sap River from Phnom Penh upstream… .. no .. ..downstream … ..okay it really depends on dry and rainy season …

A special feature of the Tonle Sap River is that it changes its direction of flow during the rainy season.

Not only on the Tonle Sap Lake, but also on its tributaries you will find the floating villages.

During the rainy season, the water level can rise up to 6 meters in these rivers and flooding the large floodplain areas. Many villages on these rivers are then no longer accessible by land. But for that brings the flood nutrient mud on the rice fields and offers many species of fish a breeding ground.
