YES, WE (recycle) CAN(s), a photo from Kampong Chhnang, West

Photographer's Note

A woman goes ashore after collecting empty tin cans in the floating village off Kampong Chhnang city.
A kilo of cans will bring her about half a dollar, enough for a basic meal...
The same goes for empty glass and plastic bottles, thus preventing another ecological disaster...

************************************

Cette dame retourne � terre, apr鋊 avoir r嶰up廨� des canettes vides dans le village flottant situ� en bordure de la ville de Kampong Chhnang.
Un kilo de ces canettes va lui rapporter environ 40 centimes d'�, assez pour un repas...
Les bouteilles, en verre et en plastique vides, sont aussi recycl嶪s de cette mani鋨e artisanale, emp璚hant ainsi l'aggravation du d廥astre 嶰ologique en cours...

Salut, Laurent,
Ha-ha! Amazing title, yes, I do remember this slogan too.
As always, perfect quality photo, good presentation of a daily life in the Cambodian village.
Best wishes,
Serghei

Hi Laurent
A wonderful down to earth kind of image about reality and very appealing to a photographers eye - but at least this trash is making itself into something else to good use and extra cash for her. But sad to see how much garbage we as humans manage to generate. The diagonal compo and position of the canoe is spot on, a cracking wonderful detail and colour a beauty. Great daily life capture with lots more to view. Congrats
Best regards

Nice chosen title, Laurent, not sure it will be in use in future, politically I maen.
Brown water and built town on pickets, poor neighbourhood - but you managed to show it with charm.
Hope this guy is getting good pay for his collection.
Bonne weekend,
Ike

Hello Laurent,
This is an excellent daily life photo telling us a lot about conditions in one of the very poorest parts of the world, also doing this with great colours and light and a good view of the human environment.
Where I live this kind of recycling business has more or less been monopolized by Romanian beggars making as much money in a day as I do in 20 minutes of freelance writing. The globalized world has become very small.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Laurent,
Une belle sc鋝e de vie quotidienne au Cambodge.Sans filtre.Bien qu'elle ne figurerait pas dans le catalogue d'aucun voyagiste,j'aime beaucoup l'authenticit� de ta prise de vue.De plus elle parfaitement r嶧lis嶪.Tr鋊 bonne mise en page avec cette femme qui semble tout juste venir d'entrer dans le cadre et apporte du mouvement � la sc鋝e.Couleurs bien satur嶪s et lumineuses.

Salut Laurent
Un titre int廨essant qui plaira � Obama sachant que ces gens vivent dans des baraques qui n'ont rien � voir avec celle de Barack
Un sujet fort int廨essant en somme

Hello Laurent,
That,s an advantage of the disadvantage, johan Cruyff would say. Recycling out of poverty. Fine photo of the rower in the poor environment.

Hello Laurent - I appreciate this shot very much both for its quality and for the subject! One man's rubbish is another man's treasure and I salute this woman's resourcefulness. A DL scene with a difference and a strong message too.

Bravo

Warm regards

Bonsoir Laurent,
Une image dans de beaux tons chauds et tr鋊 bien compos嶪.
Un travail dur pour une somme d廨isoire.
Et puis il y a la question de savoir si cette dame a d� ramasser toutes les canettes de l'eau.
Meilleures salutations, Paul

Nicou (193806) 2014-11-13 0:31

papagolf21 (152605) 2014-11-13 11:09

Bonsoir, cher Laurent,
eh oui ! il existe m瘱e un service sp嶰ial assurant le ramassage des canettes (entre autres) pour le recyclage.
Outre la beaut� naturelle de cette composition, le sujet est excellent.
Amiti廥.

Bonjour Laurent,

Almost not to believe that on these way people must work for one meal.
Your picture is very well taken with the woman in full action.
Also a wonderful panoramic sight in background of village on the water.
Sharpness and clarity make all excellent.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hello Laurent,
The sun has lit this interesting 'floating' village beautifully. I am amazed how well the Cambodians deal with life in these very wet areas. The lady with her boat and cans makes a superb main subject.
A very well composed image - TFS.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hello Laurent,
Amazing capture from Cambodia taken with perfect pov. Very nice warm light. The message is selfexplanatory; the most dangereous pain of our century, the metal and plastic cans polluting our planet.
TFS and best regards

Salut, Laurent

An apt title with the cola cans and other scrap metal being collected by sampan. A superb daily life scene on the water village on stilts in Cambodia. Good sharpness, colour and saturation. Nice reflections in the muddy water too. Tfs!

kordinator (8738) 2015-02-21 1:03

Hello Laurent
The text you write is ery nicely explained photo.
Woman makes and environmentally good job and earns himself a meal.
Nice play of light and shadows with fine reflection on the water.
Nice strong colors.
I wondered how the water is dirty but not in our rivers are much cleaner.
Excellent perspective and composition.
Beautiful photos.
Kind regards
