One of the many joys I have is walking the rural dirt roads and alleys and finding people, places, and things to take photos of. For awhile I used a FujiFilm X100F camera which was ideal but since it was not weather sealed it had issues with humidity and moisture seeping in. I like the FujiFilm camera systems; especially the X series so I went to an XT2 camera which was a disaster as well with issues which were hard to fix in Cambodia.

These days I just use my iPhone 14 Pro but I really enjoy getting out away from the river and downtown. In our neighborhood that is right outside my door. Kids yell to have their photos taken, the tuktuk driver poses and smiles, older people gently nod. Was that a cow smiling?

For some years it has been both a pastime and an activity which gets me out walking miles a day. Do any of you enjoy the same stuff? So many wonderful little rural scenes in Siem Reap or wherever to find. The river is nice sometimes but there are other stories that unfold or are waiting for you.

Bye all. Merry xmas. Happy new year. Hello cow.

@Fred Cambo hi I don't do instagram. I used fediverse stuff like mastodon. If you are on the fediverse you can find me at:

This is a Misskey instance which federates with other fediverse services and apps like Mastodon. By joining one instance you can follow folks that post photos across the fediverse. this includes photography specific sites like pixelfed.social.

I gave up on instagram, Facebook, twitter, whatever quite some time ago.
