[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I dont have any new pictures recently. So I went back and looked at those that could be posted here on TE. So I found this. This one is not that different from the last one I posted, but it is cool to see that he was trying to pick up the phone call while trying to balance the heavy thing on this motocycle.

Note: I darkened the sky a little bit since it is too bright.

Respect to this man!

Thanks for this hilarious post, Sothy. Actually, I prefer this one to the one you posted before for various reasons: the PP on the sky is less obvious here and him answering mobile phone is a great plus. Also the inclusion of the Cambodian flag in the background is nice.

Hello Sothy,
Awesome indeed!
Looks like he is texting, and this guy will qualify for any circus any time...
A great documentary!

Hi Sothy.
Excellent formulation. It was not held more already probably. Well composed driver, it plays with telephone. Super!
Pozdraiam Robert.

hello Sothy

excellent and funny. You made a great PP too i think.

I really do not know how they manage to drive in such condition. It is amazing the volume and the weight of all hat furniture. And he is trying to use the phone. Unbelieving!
It is a great photo and I am glad you posted it.
Antonio

Hi Sothy,

Beautifull in frame.
Excellent timing.
Lovely tones.

All the best.

Hello Sothy,
I loved the first picture of this guy and I love this one. It's just almost unreal. It may not be technically perfect, but who cares. How I wish I could have taken this myself!
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Sothy, I liked the first shot of this guy and this one too. It just makes you shake your head in amazement that he could even think about making a call at the same time. Cheers, Steve

Wow, great capture. Way to spot this scene. Talk about multi-tasking. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sothy!
What a scene, how can he do both things at same time? Very well captured, with good composition and colours. I even like the effect of the dust.

he he very typical, i always wondered how they kept their balance. here it is getting to the ultimate! Great dusty atmosphere.

What a funny capture! Too bright but definately worth seeing! What an incredible venture! Excellent timing, and good composition, including the flag (with the same colors than the furnishings on the motorbike, that's too much strong!... even the guy, with his blue shirt and his red bike, is matching!Incredible!). Very good shot, Sothy!

Marine

Unbeleaveble! That you'll never see in Europe. That's beautiful Asia. Everything is possible. I'm speachless. How is he able to drive this way.
Grat shot, Sothy. Just the right moment to catch him.
Have a nice weekend,
Nino.

The same object but different angle. It's cool bro.

Hola:
Increible la carga que son capaces de transportar en la motocicleta, si encima tiene que cojer el movil, el polvo que se le mete en los ojos, hace de esto un momento magnifico.

Un saludo desde España y gracias por compartir estos momentos.

pablo

A typical Cambodia scenery, great perspective. Nice colours. Great composition and excellent contrast.
Best wishes,
Achim

Ciao Sothy,

Paolo.

Wow. It looks very dangerous to me ... pushing it to the limit with one hand on the phone. Nicely caught & composed. A great TE shot. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Sothy.

There is something fun in the photo... well, really the whole scene. But at the same time we should respect the hard work of this man with all this heavy luggage in his back and, at the same time, riding a motorbike.

Regards.

(and he's answering the phone!!!)

Hey Sothy,

All I have to say is WTF!! I just can't imagine riding a scooter like that with all that crap on the back let alone text messaging while doing it! My wife gets mad when I do it in the car she would die if she saw me doing it on this!

Hope things are good. Look forward to seeing you return soon.

Mel

Hi Sothy!
What a treat to see another picture of this man! I tried so hard when I was in Asia to get one like this. No one would ever believe you if you told them about this, but the picture proves it. This is quite a common sight in Asia...hehe. Nice work. Take care,
Steve

Hi Sothy, This is a very good daily life photo. It shows the entreprenurial spirit in so many people in developing nations.
That load looks very heavy. Good work. Murray.
