A slightly random post

It's 3 days since the last post and I got a little itch in my fingers to share some photos with everyone :).

You see, I've got a Holga camera that usually gives me more scares and worries than good pictures - good meaning sharp, focused pictures of course. Then again, getting sharp, focused pictures on a Holga totally misses the point of using the Holga.

So anyway, I brought my Holga (my wee-not-so-little-and-much-neglected-Holga) to Phnom Penh in my first 'business trip' up to Riverkids Foundation. Armed only with 1 roll of medium format film I managed to take a few pictures of the Alexandra Family House.

Here's what I would like to call the Holga Panorama of the Alexandra House:



Not the sharpest of panoramas, but it does make the space look bigger than it actually is. The family house now of course has a mini stage at the backend of the small field for our future breakdancers and performers - which reminds me, do visit the what to give list for items for breakdancers - it's all in the October list!

Next we've got a blurred image of part of the graffitti-ed wall:

Peace and Love.

Last but not least, my favourite of the lot which also left me a little troubled:



Unlike most of the kids in and around the Alexandra community, he didn't care much about me wanting to take pictures of him. Most kids usually rush forward, posing at 1 to 2 cm in front of the camera.

I don't know his story, but his eyes seem more like that of an adult's - one who's seen it all or seen enough. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much into it.

And no, this wasn't a posed picture and it is really coincidental that there's an arrow point straight at him.
