Phantha's Prints　

 

The original negatives of these pictures were destroyed during the fighting between the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese army, so these images were made from scans of my original set of postcard size prints. I had the option of printing in black-and-white or colour. Black and white gave more contrast and a cleaner image, but colour seemed to preserve better the warmth and character of the originals as well as their inherent imperfections (the sepia tones from inadequate fixing, for example). So I chose colour.
