CAMBODIA – A Serendipitous Gift Of Fate. Attend the artist reception for Pat Kennedy Corlin, at the Mill Building in Newmarket, NH on 4/27/13 from 12 pm to 4pm
Pat Kennedy Corlin, owner of Performing Images Photography of Strafford, NH, recently returned from a photo journey in Cambodia, where she traveled with The Giving Lens. TGL was founded by travel photographer, Colby Brown. Brown’s vision was to provide opportunities for professional photographers and photo-enthusiasts to combine their love for photography and travel with the desire to give back. Teams travel to a developing nation and work alongside a local non-profit organization for the betterment of the community. Guided by the TGL Leaders, who are professional photographers, participants travel through the country, into the culture, taking part in workshops at locations many will only dream of, while helping in a tangible, needed way with the NGO.
The body of work, is a sampling of Corlin’s travels through the villages and temples of Angkor Wat. The images encompass highlights of her experiences working with The Giving Lens and the young photography students in the art program of The Anjali House of Siem Reap.

“It is my hope that these images will inspire others to be moved to action and explore new opportunities where, in some small but significant way, they too can make a difference helping others with their photography.” -Pat Kennedy Corlin
This summer, Corlin will be continuing her work with The Giving Lens, traveling to East Africa and working with the non-profit Art InTanzania and the Massai Cultural Preservation, Child Education, UNICEF Documentation Program.
