Cambodian Dump Scavenger
​This was a young trash dump scavenger from Cambodia.  I found him and hundreds of others, mostly children, digging through the refuse of Phnom Penh, back in the 2004.  When I take informal portraits like this I am searching for a certain look.  Up to his knees in the most foul smelling garbage he offered the look of being a survivor.
