Floating Prison Photo

Photographer’s Note

The floating village is one of the most interesting spots in Cambodia. Many kids play along the water.But, when several children on the floating Village of Tonle Sap are asked if they want to live their lives as their parents always have—in floating villages as fish farmers or fishermen—the youngsters are united in their desire to move to the mainland. “We don’t want to stay here,” they say.
This boy, seemed to be trapped there

Although a sad picture, it's very well done. You really captured alot of emotion here. The b&w adds to that feeling. I will be visiting Cambodia this winter and hope I can find this place. TFS
