Read this before you start and you'll understand what this dedication
of photos really are meant for.

This is a Special Dedication by myself & SooCool Forum to the
Children of Cambodia. Life is difficult for you, Children of Cambodia
and the least we can do is to stretch out my arms and show your
beauty this world has not seen much of. May each one of you thrive
into adulthood with zeal and love.

Outstanding work, Mike. Have you thought of submitting this stuff to publication like National Geographic?

Absolutely amazing work Mike.

My favs...

#6
The composition, the environment tells the story of what hardship these kids are going thru. But life goes on for them and they use the things they have to enjoy life, hence the toy yellow cab. Wonderful.

#12
Simply stunning portrait as you're looking into the spirit of the child.

Thought I was completely done with Cambodia when I discovered that
I have one FULL folder of images yet to be processed. I am too tired
of doing anymore Cambodia...so I'm just doing two more and closing
the book on it. Have yet to do Thailand. Anyway, here are the two.

#26: One Tear




#27. Sparkle

Super nice pictures.

I read the new piece on MSNBC and I'm glad that it got the US gov't attention now as these stuffs have been going on for years in these countries.

But wth, only 1 million in fund??
