France: No Anorexia is the title of the newest feature story by France's Emmanuel Fradin appearing on Gaia Photos.

As Fradin explains, "Little by little as she lost her kilos, Isabelle couldn’t live normally and was as frail as a famished sparrow. Soon she was only skin and bones."

He continues, "In spite of that she discovered a passion for theater which seemed to make her live again. She became an actress, writing, telling about her suffering and her hopes on a blog, a private diary in which she finally tells very little of herself, keeping her true pain deep inside."

Find out more about Isabelle and her bravery by viewing Fradin's poignant and artistic visual tribute and see another feature story by Emmanuel Fradin now appearing on Gaia Photos.

Please follow the rest of the Gaia Photos photographers to see our continually updated new features page too!

Asian Travel And Food Photography In Cambodia

In the average U.S. household, 15 % of the budget is spent on food. That percentage changes to over 50% for many people in Cambodia. The local fare in Cambodia may be a bit different than you are used to back home, but give the local cuisine a chance.

Packaged food high in saturated fat such as cookies, potato chips and ice cream is available to travelers from the Western world but since 80% of Cambodians have no electricity, hence no refrigeration, their edible food needs to be fresh.

While fish provides Khmers with 75% of their daily dietary protein, they eat low on the food chain and consuming pigs, ducks, chickens, frogs, beef, eggs, fruit, vegetables and insects meet their dietary needs.

Although these photos are three humdrum examples of stock photography, they may help serve as a reminder of the words of Robert Zoellick, president of The World Bank, who said,

“While many are worrying about filling their gas tanks, many others around the world are struggling to fill their stomachs.”
