Khmer Girls Taking Bath

most of the visitors, when they arrive in Cambodia, it’s hard for them to leave and forget the country. there are many things in Cambodia that they never though it could exist.

we have nice and charming people, most of the time you will get a warm welcome everywhere. Cambodian people usually take care of visitors more than themselves or their own family.

we have great great temples, where you can’t imagine how they were built. you walked out of each temple and you still turn back, take a deep breath and convince to yourself, you will not have enough time to understand everything about Cambodian temples.

Yoha Tada is one of them. She is a Japanese artist that came to Cambodia during 1965 and 1966, a time of full peace for Cambodia. She took pictures at every corners with her first 35 mm camera.

until today those pictures still remains the precious things to her,

she brought her photos along and do few exhibitions around the world, including Cambodia where she organized at Meta House last year.

i like the photos where the Khmer girls were talking bath at the river, it shows me an old time of Cambodia in a peaceful look.

you can find more about her photos at Silence Remained

Hi,

Congratulations for your site. Very nice and colorful.
I’m trying to install a WP-Max in my website too. How I can use thumbs on “latest news” but post a article without thumbs? Or similar like this?
