2013 PHOTO PRIZE
9th Edition Winner
Neak Sophal, Cambodia “Hang On”
People live in their own lives and are different from one another. To live a better life, some choose work they like, others choose work to earn more money, and some choose certain work just to be able to eat food. Despite these differences, the heavy burden of work becomes a part of everyone’s body and life.
