I saw this picture of Kulen Mountain Waterfall on the wall of my hotel room foreshadowing my own trip to come and photos to capture!
Boren packed a picnic lunch for me that we enjoyed on the grounds of Phnom Kulen National Park chatting about every topic you can imagine
Me setting up on a sandstone outcropping in the middle of the rushing river getting ready to shoot pictures of Kulen Mountain Waterfall
Boren took the time to capture some great images of me working and shooting the Kulen Mountain Waterfall, this being one of my favorites
I took a moment to capture (and badly narrate haha) a quick video of Kulen Mountain Waterfall to demonstrate the flows and mist as well as my location within the river as led by Boren
