SHOMI Images


my goal is to post one picture a day, sharing things I see as I live life.

photography was always one of my interests, but I got serious about it when a good friend passed away prematurely. my friends and i came to a somber realization that very few pictures of him existed. from then on, i tried to capture moments to immortalize them, not knowing how much longer they will last.

The Cambodians are very fond of pho too - it’s not just the Vietnamese. It was a sweltering day, but apparently this is what they eat for pretty much every meal. We just wanted to fit in.

This is one of the coolest trees I’ve seen. I think I stayed here for 20 min just marveling at the tree. No matter what man does, nature will always find a way.

Leave it up to Cambodia to ruin the ruins with restoration of certain tiles. Isn’t the purpose of the ruins for it to be old and awesome? Why restore it?
