In an earlier post, 'Dancin' to the Oldies...', I showcased the wonderful performers from "Cambodian Living Arts". What I have learned since is every hand gesture has a very simple distinct meaning. In fact, there are over 3,000 different gestures. Below are several of the basic gestures along with their meaning. It is very sweet.
It should be noted, one of my best friends here in Cambodia, Chean Long, is the photograher of this series. Long is a preeminate professional photographer in this Country. The quality of Long's work-product speaks for itself.
Unfortunatly, Long is too successful and cheap to even have a web site, so I do not have a link for you to consider viewing the bredth and depth of his work.
