Everyday, this woman stands patiently waiting for buyers at the main entrance of Psah Thmey (Central Market). Draped around her body like a sash are hammocks of different colors. Every time I see her and her friendly smile, I am constantly reminded of one of my favorite biblical characters, Joseph the Dreamer.

Don’t you think so, too?

>Photo Hunt #18: Metal

My entry for this week is — drum rolls please — our wedding rings! My husband and I decided to have our wedding rings handmade to our own choice of design, and both were made by the same person. Our rings were made of silver and gold – crafted by a local jeweler here in Cambodia. We chose gold and silver because we thought it is a significant symbol being in a mixed race marriage. Each one coming from a different worlds and cultures, each one bringing a new and different dimension to each other. It’s like the ring – two different metals molded into one.
