Exploration round 2 (Cambodian traditional food)

Cambodian traditional food is my exploration for this round. The purpose of this exploration is to bring back the old Khmer food and to gather people’s stories about how Cambodian foods impact on them. We have been brainstorming a lot about how to ask a good question so that we can get good stories from the interviewee before we went on a trip. Siem Reap is one of the places we went to. Before we went on a trip, we were assigned into three teams, Photo essay, Video, and Journalism. I was a part of the Photo essay team but doesn’t mean that I cannot join the Video or the Journalism team, we all need to learn those skills and if we know it already we can practice more to get better. On a trip, we got to interview a lot of chefs in an individual restaurant that serves traditional foods. They were really friendly and welcomed us warmly. I have been taking a lot of pictures while I was on a trip, but I realized that I didn’t involve much in asking people question while interviewing, so I started to set a goal for myself that I am going to ask people lots and lots of questions and I won’t be afraid of talking to people anymore. Finally, I achieved the goals that I have set for myself, I asked people a lot of questions and got a lot of stories from the interviewee. I really encourage everyone to set a goal for your life or anything that you are doing because Goals Help Us Believe In Ourselves. Setting goals for yourself is a way to fuel your ambition. Goal setting isn’t just about creating a plan for your life and holding yourself accountable, it’s also about giving us the inspiration necessary to aim for things we never thought possible.

That is what I have learned from my lovely teacher, Cindy. Back on the Photo essay that is a job that I was assigned to be, basically a photo essay is a collection of images with some caption or it can be a short paragraph, too. So far I have created two photo essay which was written about the Khmer rice noodle and the Bamboo Sticky Rice. Click here to see my first product and click here to see my second product.
