Like many other Photographers we try to to show the good side of life, but in this case I like to bring to everybody's attention, the madness and sadness still visible for many years to come in Cambodia, where ever you go or travel in this sheer beautiful Country you came across some one who has suffered beyond you imagination.
These are the land-mine Victims of Cambodia, at one point one of the heaviest land-mined countries in the world, most of the mines have been cleared now, but there are still some hidden in remote regions. I ask myself WHY?
The image below, the victim and his trusty dog, would you carry that bucket?
I guess not!
Yes, indeed hard words but a reality, think for a moment and try to understand, I myself did a lot of thinking during many trips to Cambodia, but I never will understand this madness, War and Land-mines for what?
A simple farmer attending to his needs and then boom......., burned, blind and lost limbs, who can take care of his children and family now?
Please think about it when traveling through out Cambodia, support these unfortunately people, even a little will go a long way, but please dont close your eyes and just walk past as if nothing happens, it did, dont ignore it.
Why I am writing this? So we wont forget!
Thanks for your support and Buddha bless,
GD

Cambodia bid to protect treasures

By Guy De Launey
BBC News, Siem Reap
Statues with no heads in Angkor Wat
Looting is evident even at protected Angkor Wat Cambodia has invited international law enforcement agencies to help protect the country's ancient temples.
US homeland security and FBI agents are among those who may be advising the new national heritage police force. They are hoping to put an end to the rampant looting that has seen many monuments stripped of their statues. Peace has not been kind to many of Cambodia's ancient monuments. As decades of conflict ended in the 1990s, looting accelerated dramatically. The local authorities and the United Nations' cultural organisation, Unesco, moved quickly to protect the world-famous Angkor Wat and its surrounding temples.
But more remote sites were left to their fate.

Stolen-to-order
US agents and local officers have been meeting in Siem Reap to discuss ways of protecting what is left. US special agent Ann Hurst said their experience of dealing with stolen artefacts from Iraq will be crucial.
"We can provide training in how to prevent these types of violations. There were stolen paintings and stolen coins being taken out of Iraq and smuggled in to the US," she said.
"What we did in those cases was prosecute the people who smuggled the goods in - and the people who accepted the goods in the US." Many Cambodian items have been stolen to order for private collectors.
Others have turned up at international auction houses, so expertise in intercepting illicit shipments is badly needed. Technical assistance in detection and policing will also bolster the thinly-stretched and poorly-funded local forces.
For Cambodia, stopping the looting is partly a matter of pride - the towers of Angkor adorn the national flag - but as tourism grows, so does the economic importance of preserving ancient treasures.

As mention in my earlier blog, all the participants have been so great and kind with their comments on my recent workshop in Cambodia, thank you again so much,
I said before you have been a "Great Bunch". Buddha bless you all!

Hi Mr. GD,
Welcome back! Just wanted to say I had the best time in Cambodia. Loved the different sights, sounds, culture, people and food! As the youngest (assuming?) and greenest one among the "great bunch", I have to say I probably learned the most from you and even some of the guys (Kuya Luis was really great with encouraging me). This experience has taught me not to be content on just waiting for the moment but going out and looking for it. Be proud in knowing that you have touched my life by inspiring me through your wisdom.
Thank you,
Jasmin


Hey Gunther,
Good to know you're back.
Haven't thanked you enough for our Cambodia experience as well the friendship you have extended.
Would have loved to stay and extra day to shoot Tonle Sap, well, maybe next time.
Hope to shoot with you again and perhaps a couple of beers in Malate/Penguin.

Later,
Bebet


Dear Gunther,
Welcome back!  I heard from Francis that everyone had a great time with the workshop.  Congratulations. =)

Best Regards,
Lawrence

No my Nikon didn't get flooded, but I did!

I just arrived back from the Photo Workshop in Cambodia, I am sad, I just love that Country, incredible culture and history, but most of all real nice people.
Please see below some of the testimonials I have received from some of the workshop participants, again thanks to all who participated, you all did great.
GD.

HI Gunther,
 
Thanks a lot friend. You’re not only a great photographer and artist but a real cool companion, friend and mentor. You made our trip to Cambodia very memorable and our experience worth more than sharing to our families and friend. Although I have the tendency to shift to my own world when we hit the road for our photo shoots – I always have in my mind the images in your book and the lessons and insights you have unselfishly shared to us in the class. Having said that, my experience at the Cambodia GDPhotoWorkshop has vastly influenced and enriched my knowledge in photography. Thanks a lot Mr. Gunther Deichmann – you’re the man.
 
Best regards,
Luis Harder

Hey Gunther!!!
 How're you doing? Me, I've been showing off my pictures in Cambodia (untouched) and of course they like what they've seen (i mean my wife and kids - hehehe).

 See you!
 Jojo Ochoa


Hi Gunther,
I can't begin to tell you what an amazing time I had in Cambodia with you & the amazing people we did the course with, History was in the making I think. We have taken some amazing photo's you have taught me so many things I need to look for. Your eye for seeing incredible things which one would not normally see. Not only these things are special to me but you have inspired me even more, plus my friendship to you has grown even more, for this my friend I thank you for the bottom of my heart .
Cambodia itself ! wow I was in awe not stop the wonder the history the amazing temples this feeling I had in side of me was magical, behind every stone was was story to be told ! around every corner, one could not wait to see what was there to be photographed. I know now that my life has changed & I have to be a Photographer more than anything & you taught me light * color is the key.
As for my new friends please could you pass on this mail to the wonderful people that accepted me as a fellow photographer, you were all very special to me & am excited about new adventures together.
All in all I'm complete & extremely happy with everything the monks were wonderful for the icing on the cake & the hotel everyone was fantastic, last but bby no means the least our trusty guide, which I could never pronounce his name, thanks so much.

the things you see on the road

WOW !!! Direct from the Heritage Hotel in Siam Reap the very first Blog from the GDPhotoWorkShop.
This is only a quick one just to let everybody know, we had a great time and some of the images from the participants turned out just fantastic, my personal thanks to all who attended this workshop in Siam Reap, Cambodia. You all did a great Job, I am proud for having such great talents around me. Well done.
More details will follow once I finished with all the editing and find more time.
This has been a tough one for all, including myself, everyday 5am until 10pm in the evening. Classroom sessions at lunch and in the evening.
Our very first winner for this event is Luis Harder, he hit it right on, the assignment or subject was to come up with an image which had nothing to do with temples, he took the shot below near the Heritage Hotel. Real great well done Luis!
He is now the proud owner of the Apple Aperture Software, sponsored by the Power Mac Center in Makati. I update and inform everybody regarding the whole event, please let me catch my breath first. There are so many stories to tell and some great images to show from the last few days, and once I am back we have our special galley up soon on the GDPhotoWorkShop web site. Also very soon more details from our sponsors and major prizes later.
Many thanks to Apple Singapore for all the other goodies.
A very special thanks to the management and staff from the Heritage Hotel, a real surprise will follow in my next blog, so please stay tuned or subscribe.

APERTURE Designed for professional photographers.
http://www.apple.com/aperture
A quick time saving tip for Our Aperture Users who will join me on our photo workshop to Cambodia.
You dont have to wait until we get there, not at all, take a few minutes and set up your Aperture Library now, before the Journey begins.
You all know we are going to Cambodia; just create a project now with the name Cambodia and create some Albums within, e.g.. landscapes, temples, people, traditional, personal etc., etc. and when you ready for importing each day you are all set to go. Another quick tip is to prepare some presets e.g.. your name with Copyright, Country; e.g.. Cambodia, location like Angkor Wat, Siam Reap, Monks, Temples etc.,etc. this want take long at all, just a few minutes before the trip, you can also prepare some common keywords the same way, you be amazed how much time you save later and have more time after the shoot for a relaxing beer or two. For those who are not familiar with these set ups dont worry I be there to guide you trough it, ok only one beer for you.

The GDPhotoWorkShop is supported and sponsored by the following:

Well, time has come, we are all set for our Cambodian Workshop, a few more days and then I try to report from Siam Reap, Angkor Wat, provided I get a good connection. We are leaving this coming Friday and our first shoot is on Saturday early morning, all the participants are very excited about this trip, including myself, even I have been there many times, but there are always some great and new opportunities In Siam Reap, a Photographers paradise.
The shooting is our top priority but seeing all the images later in Aperture on our Computer is going to be really exciting, as mention I try my best to do some blogs direct from the location, however our Gallery with the best images will be up on the GDPhotoWorkshop site up on my return.
Of course I am also looking forward to see my old friends and my guide Savuth again who is guiding us through this unique place, and having the Heritage Hotel as our base is just fantastic.
Thanks to our supporters/sponsors: Apple Singapore, the Power Mac Center in Makati, Manila, Sam's Tours Palau and the Heritage Hotel in Siam Reap we make this Gallery very interesting and a challenge for our participants, we have a lot of surprises in stall for the best images but more on these later.
My gratitude to Jun Miranda from the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging for all his support and hard work.

CAMBODIA
A Photo Safari/Course on Travel Photography

The Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI), in cooperation with GDPHOTOWORKSHOP, invites you to a photo safari/travel photography workshop on one of the most popular destinations in Asia: Cambodia. To be conducted from September 7-11, 2007, this workshop is opened to all serious amateur and professional photographers who want to explore Cambodia’s Angkor Wat while learning the complexity of travel photography.

This four-day workshop will focus on Angkor Wat of Cambodia. While it will cover the place, its people and culture, the course will also be a learning experience from one of the best travel photographers—Gunther Deichmann. He will cover all aspects of shoot: solving technical problems, working with the locals, gaining access to certain places, the digital workflow, etc. He will also discuss what makes a successful travel photography. In addition, he will also lecture on post-production workflow and techniques using Apple Aperture. Aside being a well-respected travel photographer, he is also an Apple Certified Instructor in Aperture.

The workshop will be preceeded by a cocktail at PCCI, two weeks before departure, to brief the participants and to give them the opportunity to know one another.  The evenings of the workshop will be spent in sharing, critiquing of the day’s shoots and planning of the next. 

At the end of the course, each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion from both PCCI and GDPHOTOWORKSHOP and a copy of Gunther’s book, Journey Through Colour and Time. Their photos will also be exhibited in the Participant’s Gallery in the GDPHOTOWORKSHOP website. Exhibited photos will automatically be entered in the Cambodia Photo Contest to be displayed at the PCCI Gallery. Winning photos will win major prizes like free trip (including accommodation) to Cambodia for two. 

The total package price is US$1,650 (or peso equivalent) which includes airfare transportation from Manila-Siam Reap-Manila; 4 night-/5 day-accommodation at the 5-star Heritage Suites Hotel, breakfast, ground transportation and guides; Angkor Wat Heritage site permit fee and visa fee for Camboida; lectures at the Heritage Suite Hotel conference room; and a signed copy of Gunther Deichmann’s book Journey Through Colour and Time.

In support of the children in Cambodia I like to pass this message on, please read below the email I have just received,
a nice and warm story. Oh, yes I do love Cambodia, the people and culture, just an amazing place and only now I realized that my blog from some time ago had been picked up, it is truly amazing. click this link for details
G.D.

Dear Gunther Deichmann, this is a personalized message from Pin.
I googled and found your site with keyword "I Love Cambodia". We hope you find this interesting. Hope you can share this with your friends.


Mr. Klaus Moeller is a traveler who fell in love with our country. He has an interesting story which we would like to share with all of you.

Hello from Cambodia e-Visa,

A Touching Reunion After 8 Long Years
Klaus Moeller, Germany, 21 May 2007
I have traveled to Cambodia on two previous occasions. I went to Cambodia 8 years ago and fell in love with the country. Outside the temple of Angkor Thom was a little girl selling flutes. I took a photo of her and bought a flute.

When I came home, I looked at this photo for 5 years - always wondering why I did not help her more!

Well, a year ago - I went back to Cambodia with my daughter and 6 of her friends from school. I managed to have someone find the little girl. It was amazing to find her - it took us nearly a whole day!

And so we took the photo of her holding her old photo! It was wonderful - and this time we did take care of her and her family.

I have traveled to Cambodia on two previous occasions and was excited to try out your new e-visa service. I am absolutely amazed (pleasantly!) as how easy to use this service is. It took me all but 10 minutes, reduced costs by eliminating Courier charges and I had my visa ready to print the next morning! For the direct link please click here:

Gunther Deichmann covered Cambodia in his Book Journey Through Colour and Time extensively and six pages on the revival of the APSARA traditional Cambodian dances are dedicated to the APSARA Arts Foundation in Phnom Penh, for more info on Gunther's book please click the link below:

Hi, I just picked this up from my good friend Dermot, who joined me with my other good buddy Dirk to Cambodia recently.
Below are some images, Dirk almost joined the Monastry and Dermot was going to move for good into the Heritage Hotels bathtub ha, ha.


Savuth Lim my trusted Guide and friend for many
years with Dermot and Dirk in Siam Reap.

Dirk? Are you really joining the Monastry???
Well, no need to shave your head, that part is done.

Dirk Fahrenbach, G.D. and Dermot Keane
at Ankor Wat

Well, and this is the bathtub Dermot is talking
about it, at the Heritage Hotel.


Now here is the story from Dermot,

After ADEX – Side trip to Cambodia

I've been off the air for a while now due to some techical difficulties. I've got a bunch of items to post. Here goes!

Following the ADEX show, due to a change in airline schedules I had surprise chance to join my good friends Gunther Deichmann and Dirk Fahrenbach on their short trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia, home of the famous ancient temples including Angkor Wat. For a change, my travels had nothing to do with diving. I spent a few days following Dirk and Gunther around the incredible temples as they both worked their cameras hard. Check out some of Gunther’s images at: http://homepage.mac.com/gdeichmann/Cambodia%20April%202007/

The trip to Siem Reap and the temples was absolutely wonderful and is a place I plan to go back to later this year. I took the time to do a quick inspection of some of the hotel properties there and came across a really nice 27 room boutique hotel called Heritage Suites www.heritage.com.kh Exquisite rooms. Excellent service. Wonderful dining. Warm friendly staff, including General Manager Bernard Loyer with whom we had dinner at the hotel on two occasions along with some great wines. I plan to bring my wife with me on the next trip and I know she will love this hotel! I’m just not sure she’ll want to leave the giant free-standing bath tub in the hotel room to go tromping around ancient temples! We’ll find out. If you happen to be headed to Siem Reap definitely check out the Heritage Suites.

Our local guide was Savuth Lim who did a great job of watching the weather and the light and making sure Gunther and Dirk were in the right places at the right times for excellent photography. Even more amazing was how he wheeled us around the crowds (and they can be big) and or took us to the less visited temples which are equally as stunning as the most popular one. Savuth is also chief of the local Tourist Transport Association which provides all sorts of transportation from Tuk-Tuks to taxis, cars and vans. Savuth arranged a car and driver to be at our service all day and joined us himself as our personal guide when we headed to the temples. He’s been guiding for Gunther for quite a number of years whenever he visits Siem Reap and it really made the trip smooth and easy. If you’re looking for a great local guide, contact Savuth by e-mail to make advance arrangements or call him when you get to Siem Reap.
