Hauling

There are tents offering an assortment of foods and services plastered all along the roads that take tourists around the complexes at Angkor Wat. There are not a lot of supply trucks that make runs to these “Mom and Pop’s” establishments.

Most of the time, the mechanized transport of choice is in fact the moped.

My Tuk Tuk had abandoned me to go attend a wedding celebration on the outskirts of Angkor Thom. After walking myself into a frenzy, I began taking photos of of the tent areas after eating lunch to get all the touts to shut up.

This photo was my favorite — the driver was so overloaded that he couldn’t even start his bike.

Camera equipment used on this exposure was:

Canon EOS 30D
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L-series lens

Indeed, I must confess again that my life is not so very hard.
