Two Buddhist monks relax inside a temple in Ban Russei, Cambodia.

While I know that stock photographs of monks in Cambodia are plentiful, I wanted to capture these two people going about their daily lives at a temple in Ban Russei, Cambodia.
Ban Russei is known for its agriculture, especially tobacco. While some residents of the village grow and harvest tobacco each year, others refuse to partake in this process even though growing the crop is more lucrative than cultivating food. This stems from the Buddhist belief that smoking isn't exactly the best thing for people.
Nevertheless, the elder monk seen in the foreground in the photo above is reaching for a cigarette.
If you have a destination you want to promote in SE Asia, email me and maybe we can work something out.
