Captioning these pictures today reminded me how hard it was to visit this place... well actually the visiting it wasn't hard, it was the thinking about it. I think you're tempted to view these pictures as thin, gauzy portraits from a distant past. But that's not true. That is not what is in front of you. Each image is so distinctly different; each person so clearly individual. Then I looked at the news online and saw that Dith Pran died. His story is what made this place real to me then, and I thought of it often when I was there.
