It is neither a city with a reputation of romance as Paris nor a city of a hundred spires as Prague. Bustling Phnom Penh, once known as the Pearl of Asia, is home to one million people, the largest, most populous and capital city of Cambodia. Today the city is a significant global and domestic tourist destination of this Southeast Asian nation. And this heartland is also renowned for its traditional Khmer and French influenced architecture, along with its amazingly friendly and peaceful people. For a furturist, term like ‘a Phnom Penher’ might be introduced at some point in time when there is a growing sense of identity and popularity. It is the place where I grew up and went to schools. The period of time is long, long enough to make me love the places, people, and its prestige. Phnom Penh is not the most beautiful, wealthiest, or greatest city in the world, but it is where I grow my own perspective and proudness.

Recently I have launched an online photo community, titled the “Perfect Phnom Penh” in an effort to build Phnom Penh in pictures or pixels. Using Flickr, one of the best online photo managements and sharing applications, everyone from every corner of the planet, traveler, tourist, expat and local with love and memory of the Cambodian capital city can take part in this development. Once joined the group, there is a pool where you can contribute your photo, which is also open to public for viewing: pictures of the city nightlife, a day in the life of people from every walk of life, French-style building, the mighty Mekong River, et cetera.

How do I share a photo with a group?
Easy! If you belong to the group, just add your photo to the group pool (if not, join the group first, because only members of a group can contribute to the group pool).

The easiest way add a photo to a group is to go to the photo’s page, and click on the Send to Group button that you should see between the photo title and the photo itself. Click that, then choose the group you want to send it to, and you’re done!
