siem reap concert hall
|
|
|
one of few buildings worth crediting in siem reap, just next by two doors from our hotel. while shooting this building (after spending about 10 mins at the building external compound), suddenly a guard appeared from inside the building, signalling by hands and i quickly understood that he did not allow the building to be photographed. followed, a voice came from behind and when i turned, an aged white man with long hair and well dressed approached me quickly, backed with few of his local bodyguards. from the look, i think he's the owner of that concert hall. he started to interrogate me with stern voice; asking me where i came from and for whom i'm photographing for. he did take a glance at my camera as if he's ready to grab it (it's not mine!) and in an instant, i felt nervous because it was my first time to be in a foreign country, furthermore a poor country only recently in peace from war. funny, at the same time i found it's kinda cool, like in the movies where the photographers were approached violently for doing their works in countries under turmoil. for fuck's sake it is just a concert hall, not a high level security national agency building and i was proud to answer that man with full confidence, "this photos are for my personal usage, and i am an architect from malaysia". the rest, here i am, back in malaysia with all these photos, published for your viewing pleasure and importantly, ase's camera is still with me.
