TRANSPORTATION IN CAMBODIA

Posted on December 17, 2013 by michaelweening

Cambodia, China and other Asian nations – each with their unique way of getting around dependent on factors such as tourism, distance and cost. A few from Cambodia. Config Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 28-70mm f/2.8 and Canon 70-200mm f/2.8.

And still quite common, the cart and oxen.

One thing that remains consistent .. petrol distribution is a little different in these countries.

Love the kid making faces. One thing is for sure, the Cambodian people are super nice (and happy).

GETTING AROUND CHINA

Posted on December 12, 2013 by michaelweening

From country to country the vehicle choice changes. In Vietnam it was the scooter. In China it is the 3 wheeler. Config: Canon 5D Mark III, 50mm f/1.2.

Here is a pic of the average family’s vehicle (note the his foot placement – there must be an engine in there somewhere). It was amazing to see just how much they could pile on one of these vehicles.

TSUKIJI FISH MARKET (part 2)

Posted on July 31, 2012 by michaelweening

The fish market has many forms of transportation; gas shuttles, two tire scooters, three tire scooters and the old fashioned hand cart. A pile of old ones were stacked down an alley.
