Part of the exclusive online showroom developed by All About Photo, this exhibition is on view for the month of June 2023 and includes twenty photographs from the series ‘Railway Community’.
Over 300 Cambodian families live in Phnom Penh's “Kilometer 6” commune, which is located alongside railway tracks that stretch from the districts of Tuol Kork to Daun Penh and Russey Keo (hence their name, the Railway Community). The families live in self-built shacks, usually consisting of a single room. The people here – some of the poorest people in the city – often run small businesses, in the form of mini-kiosks, in their community. They arrange individual products on cloths in front of their houses.

It’s weird how well hidden it is too. I lived barely half a kilometre from there for a whole year, and the only time I’ve ever seen that place is the time I took the train.
Yes - It is very well hidden,
I recall visiting family in pre covid times and we traveled back to PP via a different set of roads.
I was quite stunned when we took a road that ran along an old railway line and all the people living on the tracks that were no longer connected to the rail network.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

B&W really fits for these>
I used to ( back in 2008-2009) walk the rails behind the train station, photographing the people living along the rails, Some great communities back than there.

I cycled it many times starting at The Big Tree on the RN5 and ending where ever it became too hard or dangerous usually just past the airport but sometimes quite further on.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
