Cambodia is literally one huge rice paddy and the country side is just beautiful during this season. Even though the people have not been pleased with freedom in the past everyone welcomes you with open arms wherever you go. Children always smile at you, wave and say “Hello”.

The film was shot with two canon 5dMkII and one 550d. Lenses from 10 to 200mm.
