The book is a photographic essay containing colour and black and white pictures, using both film and digital cameras, taken during my trip to southeast Asia in the summer of 2006, and portraying various aspects of life in present-day Laos and Cambodia. Royalties from the sale of the book will go to C.C.P.P, an organisation in the beach town of Sihanoukville, south of Cambodia, that helps the children that would not normally afford to go to schools through an art program which allows them to pay for their education by selling their own paintings to the many visiting tourists of the beaches.
