Cambodia 2004 Photo Gallery by Maciej Dakowicz at pbase.com

Cambodia 2004

Please visit also Cambodia 2005 - a second visit and Cambodia 2005 - The Garbage Dump in Phnom Penh galleries.

April 2004 in Cambodia... Just two weeks, but tons of memories, tons of pictures. Wonderful country, wonderful people. In my opinion not Angkor Wat, but the people are the biggest treasure of Cambodia.

If you are interested in purchasing prints please visit http://maciekda.smugmug.com for details and ordering.

Please also visit another my Cambodian gallery - Stung Meanchey - Flowers in the dump...

All those pictures were taken using Canon EOS 300D digital camera (which was later stolen in India, but it is another story).

Thank you for your all comments and votes. Without you I would have quit photography a long time ago.

Luciano Morpurgo		25-Sep-2008 21:39
One of the most touching series of photos I've ever seen. Very good job! I can see how much you were involved when shooting those kids, I was really in it too

Kris Jacques		24-Aug-2008 06:09
Hi Maciej Your photos inspire me. I am a photography teacher in Australia, and I'm always telling my students that photos not only need to be technically excellent, but they vitally need a feeling, emotion, or, as my agency director used to say, "I want EVOCATIVE photos." That is precisely what you take, and I am very happy to recommend that my students visit your pbase site.

Leang		23-Feb-2008 06:40
Thank you for the lovely photos. I was born in Cambodia, but left at the age of 3 and have never been back. It is such a beautiful country. You have inspired me . . . Many thanks.

Dariusz Ku�aga		18-Dec-2007 08:33
Thanks for so much beauty. Next month we'll be travellig through Cambodia and Vietnam. Hope for only a piece of so emotions and believe I'll bring some of them in my heart and photos. Lots of luck i pozdrawiam. Darek Ku³aga

I was happy enough to visit Cambodia a few years ago and it was a country of wonderful kind people and incredible monuments too, you can't miss. But I agree with the photographer that "the people are the biggest treasure of Cambodia", and these pictures get the best of them and are really stunning. Congratulations

Guest		19-Feb-2007 20:37
Beautiful kids, wonderful characters, great happy people you captured! I wonder whether people in poor countires are actually more happy than those who live in plentiful matrix. These faces made me think.

I never made it to Cambodia coming from Bangkok. My travel agent and I ended up traveling together throughout Thailand instead. Your photos are beautiful, and I am distressed that I wasn't able to see it with my own eyes. The level of poverty in that country is just so sad. It must have been a difficult trip.

Guest		21-Oct-2006 13:02
awsome picctures!

wolfamon		13-Oct-2006 11:37
great shots although I´d prefer it with a bit more rougher granularity

Adam Gray		01-Sep-2006 01:04
One of the best galleries I have seen of cambodia, you have done a great job to capture the true beauty of the country- it's people. I'm hoping to go back there to do some charity work in the future and I hope that the photos I take whilst there will be up to the excellent standard of work you have posted here. Now it's a shame that 70-200 f/4L costs as much as a flight to Cambodia!

Teply Oldis		23-Aug-2006 18:48

Guest		17-Feb-2005 17:08
In the persistant debate about photographic children in public places its so important to remember the wonderful life that is shown (as demonstrated here) and not dwell entirely on the most sinister member of our societies actions. These pictures demonstrate so much of the life of the country without glossing over facts which should be seen. Fantastic!

Amrita		17-Feb-2005 14:37
how come you have all kids' fear, happiness, curiosity that I couldn't have... ?? It's just wonderful picture I've ever seen. really enjoyed.

Like all the others who have commented here, I too love this gallery. I particularly like your viewpoint - so often you are at the level of the children. For the most part, you don't look down on them. Dave

That how these children struggle in this world to survive. That how their innocence is destroyed by poverty. That how they spend their day in search of food for their families. Truly, this is an eye opener. Thanks for sharing this.

ATTENTION Excellent work, both technically and humanly. Which leads to a social question. If these kids were in America or UK, and they were White, would you be arrested and thrown in jail already? Especially being a "foreigner"? Why are American and UK kids "protected", but when they are Cambodian kids, it is not only OK, but a great great glory. Otherwise you would be murdered in jail for being accused of a perverted crime, in supposingly civilized societies like the USA. Are White people 1st-class citizen of the world when compared to Cambodian? These "fears" and subsequent laws are entirely pushed by the so-called "soccer moms" in the developed nations. Perhaps now we know, SOCCER MOMS are just another bunch of RACISTS, practically worse than the KKK. And just as stupid as the people in the KKK.

This one of the best stunning albums I had seen. Cambodian people are so beautiful even they are poor and have not any access to beautfies like we are in the western world. Such charming children. You are such a great photographers. You had captured every moments and detailing on each faces of the children. You had one of the most powerful lense. The lense that tell the stories. Thanks for sharing your photos. I would like to visit Cambodia. I would like to know more about this tragic country and her people,such charming.

Pete Burke		18-Jul-2004 08:20

hi,Thanks for these wonderful pics.They show so much happiness .The children,adults are seem to be smiling so often! My fav is " The boy at the river".He has such a quizzical expression seldom seen in a child that the overall feeling of encountering this pic is just a "WOW" extraordinary impact. marie

TJ O'Brien		19-May-2004 15:06
This is a truly stunning gallery. I love documentary photography and this is excellent. I've been fortunate enough to visit most countries in Asia but I've never been to Cambodia. These shots are wonderfully evocative. Excellent

Nelson Ricciardi		17-May-2004 14:17
Congratulations on your pictures. Nicely done. I just want to remember every visitor that these images are very representative. They show what happens EVERY DAY in EVERY COUNTRY of the so called third world. The garbage dump series could be done in Brazil, Peru, Chile, Colombia, any country in Africa and a few in Asia. That´s just the way it is. What are they doing? Well... it depends. Sometimes they are trying to find things to sell. Sometimes something to bring to their homes, small furniture, thins like that. But usually, they are trying to find something TO EAT.

Wojtek		17-May-2004 11:33

thanks for giving me an poingnant insight into real life in cambodia and at the same time educating me! i love the shot of the little princess from the orphanage - her eyes says it all! i wish i could adopt her right this minute to come live with my wife and kids.

Munawar Ainy		13-May-2004 15:01
Looking at the pictures you presented here I can say you have the very quality of an excellent journalist. You have the eye and technical prowess. In addition, you photos show us that you can get along with people easily. I like people photography, but feel too shy to approach them, out of fear of being offensive. Looking forward to seeing more inspiring pictures from you.

Guest		13-May-2004 13:29
What a wonderful gallery! Photojournalism at its best, some of your pictures look like they have been taken straight out of National Geographic magazine! Thanks for also adding some written information as well. All the best Arthur

Twoje zdjecia sa fantastyczne! I nawet nie wiesz jak sie ciesze ze jestes Polakiem. Moglabym spytac co robisz w Hong Kongu? Nieczesto niestety poznaje rodakow wybierajacych taki model zycia jaki Ty wybrales. A Ciebie chcialabym poznac.

Phil Douglis		10-May-2004 19:05
This gallery is quite different from your others, Maciek -- there is a bittersweet quality to these images that makes them linger in the imagination and underscores the poverty and sadness that defines this war ravaged country. While most visits to Angkor stress the splendor of its ancient temples, you focus on its people and their struggle to survive. Your work with the Digital Rebel is superb, but you do not seem to be quite as intimate as you seemed to be with your subjects when using the G3. I wonder how your move to a larger DSLR, which you must hold up to your eye in order to compose, has affected your approach to your work?

missy		10-May-2004 00:32
