Description
Sitting on a mat outside his house, a farmer repairs his fishing net in a small village near the provincial capital of Takeo. The large earthernware pot in front of the timber and rattan house is used to store fresh clean water, which is often difficult to obtain during Cambodia's dry season. Fishing is a common and often vital supplement to a family's diet, especially in the aftermath of thirty years of social upheaval which has seen Cambodia's agricultural production ruined by war and tied up by minefields.
