What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

Angkor Photo Festival

Passion, they say, moves the world, for one thing it helped moved the rocks from the moun­tains, and being shaped into the likes of the Angkor Wat, Borobudur, and many of the world’s old­est wonders.

If a vision is the man­i­fes­ta­tion of a person’s most sacred thought, what would hap­pen if you bring some of the great­est tal­ents & vision­ar­ies together in the deep set­tle­ment of an early civ­i­liza­tion, an old city of ruins of The Angkor Wat.

Celebrated for the 6th year since 2005, this year’s Angkor Photo Festival is to com­mence this com­ing week­end through the weeks of November. The week-long cel­e­bra­tion will fea­ture more than 110 pho­tog­ra­phers from 47 coun­tries with the great cura­to­r­ial sup­port from Yumi Goto, Antoine d’Agata, Françoise Callier and the Angkor Photo Festival team.

I am for­tu­nate to be able to attend this year and It will be a long com­ing after years of pass­ing hopes & oppor­tu­ni­ties. Now the time has come, I look for­ward to meet the col­leagues that I never knew I had, and the friends that I have yet to know.

The Telegraph has more.
