F irst of all, my apologies for running behind schedule. I’ve received several emails from people requesting a blog post from this year’s Angkor Photo Workshop. Although the workshop is now finished, I’m just now getting a chance to blog about it.
So, with my first bit of free-time in what seems like a long time, I wanted to take the opportunity and share with you, a short multimedia slideshow created by Angkor Photo Workshop participant Karen O’Hern.
Karen combined her beautiful images of a traditional Cambodian Apsara dancer posing in some of the most photogenic temples around Siem Reap, with a soundtrack of traditional Khmer music. The result is an excellent example of how still images and sound come together to create a captivating presentation.
To view Karen’s slideshow click the play button above. Bravo and thanks to Karen for providing us a wonderful visual journey into Cambodia’s historic and present day beauty.
During the Angkor Photo Workshop, Karen completed her NGO assignment with an organization which provides water filters and wells to impoverished families. Additionally Karen did several other photo stories, including a project she spearheaded, about “acid victims” after she received a lead from a family member who had visited Siem Reap several years ago.
Karen’s NGO story and her 2-part acid victim story, which began in Siem Reap, and ended in Phnom Pehn are currently only available for viewing on her “private blog”, but they will likely be published publicly within the next few months. I’ll keep you posted.
To see more of Karen’s work, visit her website.
I am having trouble accessing the participant’s multimedia show. The link takes you to a page where you follow a link that takes you right back here.
I liked Karen’s short presentation. We were on a photo trip to Bhutan with Karen last October and recommended you to her. I am so glad she got to learn from you and experience your wisdom.
Hi Judy, thanks for the message and thanks for referring Karen to me!
As for the slideshow link….I checked it and it seems fine. Just be sure to click on the slide show at the bottom of the post rather than the one at the top. (The top photo is just a screen capture, whereas the image at the bottom links to the slideshow). If you still have problems viewing it please let me know. Thanks, Karl
