Daily Photo – Boy with Jar and Stool

Thought I'd channel my inner Cartier-Bresson and post a photo I took in Phnom-Penh that I call with Jar and Stool. I'm the first to admit its not in perfect focus – it was a last minute grab shot with a manual focus camera, one of those moments that you catch perfectly, imperfectly, or not at all. I shot the image way back in '92 so this little fellow would be around 28 now and in all probability has children of his own! My best guess is this image was taken close to Tonle Sap River bank by the Palace. I've no idea where he was going but probably to join some family members.
