ENG: Thida and her nephew -and adopted son- Vial, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Thida is a bar hostess (age 40) who works at night for US$60 a month. Her rent is US$100 a month. She has the custody of her nephew Vial, whose mother died when he was 6 weeks old. His father is long gone. Providing for Vial is obviously very difficult for Thida.

Very well balanced composition. Nice story-telling shot!
I see the weight of responsibility on her face… Innocent joy on his. A touching moment to capture!
