On the Edge

Last year I started thinking about a project called ‘On the Edge’, about people who need just a little incident in their life to be dragged into the spiral of destitution and poverty. I worked on it for a while and put it aside, waiting for a better mindset.

This sunday I tried to get in there again…

Some photographs of ‘Two Sides of the River’ were taken with that story in mind.

A story is not necessarily recorded in a linear way…

CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 30/09/2012: Woman having her head shaved on the 'Saen Preh Chan' (Moon Prayer) day to cleanse her soul and be closer to Buddha.

PS: I have moved to a new (temporary) house. And I am now saddled up with a dial-up connection to the Internet… That will explain a slow down in posts on this blog.
