Good Food and Views are Worth the Journey
This boy peered out of the window of the school to give us a warm smile. This photo was taken this past February in a fishing village in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Camera settings were on ISO800, f14, 1/30, focal length 135mm.
I took this picture back in December 2000 using Fujifilm Velvia 50 positive film (slide) on either a Yashica or Contax body with a Carl Zeiss lens. Those were the days! Both Yashica and Contax stopped making cameras in 2005 but the equipment I have still takes really good pics although I’m really lazy to take them out these days. Anyway, she was a girl in the market in Yangon and it was just fortuitous that her eyes happened to be in the stream of light coming through the awnings. It was also lucky that for once I had my settings right as she was just there for a fleeting moment.
