earlier this afternoon, in a phnom penh tree, i spotted these 3 kids having the most fun. they were pretenting to be monkeys (sounds, hanging from their legs, ...) hence the title, no racism whatsoever intended, more like respect !
sorry for the crude processing but i have nothing... not even picasa... will do better after i return.

gentegeuamo, have you never pretended to be a monkey ? you should try, it's fun !

Great shot. (And I feel the tag is fine. It's seems meant in good fun. The tag would fit if it were shot in France or the U.S. or... anywhere IMHO. My screen name translates to "red butted monkey" in Thai and in real-life I'm neither. ;-> )

I really wonder how someone who captures kids in such a lovely way could be racist, absolut nonsense! :D
Kris Kros (89 months ago | reply)
Yes, I agree that the title is all for fun. Lovely shot of the kids enjoying their freedom.

amazing amazing photograph... i guess it shows you the innocence of youth... under very very tricky lighting as well... amazing... :D
i really dont think you can get a racist vibe from any of your photographs... least of all this one... they all have a lot of positive vibe and happiness
as always a real treat to see the world through your lens... :D

Actually, I think the comp is great, I don't think the pic needs to be edited at all.

Great picture!!! Before I went to Cambodia several days ago, I told myself try to take some great pictures as you did, but now I came back, mine, especially pictures of people still not at the same quality level of yours. Admire and envy....:)

Awesome. See, deals like this are why I refer to pretty much all children as monkeys.
