Khmer New Year 2010 Phnom Penh

I am just back from Phnom Penh where I shot these photos on assignment for the Tokyo based new PDF magazine "Latitude" about the Khmer New Year. It wasn't an easy issue because this time Cambodia's capital looked like a ghost town. The city was empty like in the ghost movie, except some key locations like pagodas, Royal Palace and nearby Wat Phnom. These times the city people visit the relatives in the countryside, so before and after new year the traffic goes crazy outside the town.
