Tucked away on a quiet lane in labyrinthine south Bandung where modest homes have neatly manicured lawns the size of king-sized beds, veteran photographer Paul Tedjasurya recalls a lifetime full of memorable images.
Having spent 57 years as a full-time photographer, Tedjasurya, now 78 and retired, was literally on the front lines of history back in 1955.
As a young 25-year-old, who had decided to spend his career as a photographer only four years previously, he was one of a few Bandung-based freelancers on hand for the historic Asia-Africa conference.
"I took all the leaders' pictures ... Nehru, Chou En-Lai, Sihanouk," says Tedjasurya, recalling that the delegation heads walked from the Hotel Savoy Homann to the conference centre only a few blocks away, giving the press an opportunity get some good shots.
"Sukarno was a great man ... he had great charisma," he recalls when describing the photo he took of the Indonesian president.
Back then, before television was available, newspapers didn't have full-time photographers, says Tedjasurya. "Before I took a photo I had to think, ‘Is this a good photo or not?' because I had to sell it to a newspaper. Film was expensive ... not like now with digital when you can take hundreds."
In 2005, at celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the Bandung Conference, Tedjasurya was feted as the only surviving Indonesian photographer to attend the event.
Interviewed by the Indonesian press, one of his memories became a headline for an article on his reflections. It reads: Istri Norodom Sihanouk cantik (Norodom Sihanouk's wife is beautiful).
He showed this reporter a copy of the article and then helped him figure out how to work his new camera to get a decent image. "No, no, use this function, you'll get a better picture in this light," he explained patiently to cub photographer Hayes with a smile.

Monique was beautiful,that was why Sihanouk would be happy to die under Noum-Korm.
I think, some male dogs are more beautiful than her.
To all Khmers,
She led Sihanouk by the nose to fullfill Ho Chi Minh's dream of incorporating Cambodia into a state of Viet Indochinese Federation.
The author of Nornaq Chea Kheatakors reas Khmers ???
Fake Khmer King always has a thing for Yuon woman.
Hey don't blame Khmer men...the Yuon's Viet women (girls even starting at 12 years old) are free for all. They are there to take. That's how the Yuon/Viet has been known for - that's their specialty: ask the French and/or the Americans or the world for that matter. They will tell you all about it. Better yet, ask this troller-crazy-with-Viet-pussy guy by the name of "Penh Panha" here on KI-Media. He should be able to tell you everything you want to know. And that's a fact.

No problemo so long you know Viet women is not free and there is no refund.
women and sex and also image of empress make khmer king and his son blind full to lead khmer people and country to melt down the nation to Ah ho chim minh controled .and now we all are confront with the king son who had haft boy and haft girl to steeling the nation ,i truly believed this king follow the minding from yuon commander and they let the nation what they give.
if monica is that beautiful as the old men of that period named it, I'm wondering what would be an ugly one? What's meant beautiful in the brain of these old men? Or may be beautiful for these men is a white form filled with fat, a round figure as tyre of car in which ho chi minh invented its supper shoes in which Khmer rouge and vietcong be foul of it.
The brain of these people must full of yuon kantop wastes than something else. This woman looks average chin yuon figure like the wife of hok or hun sen, if not a pig.
Monique is a Yuon whore and her son is a male Yuon gay.
The fruits always fall near the tree.
Ber doeung tha Noum Korm yuon chngach mloeung lmoeung toss chea oss Nokor kor min ey dae.hahaha
Sdach Khmer Ngob krom kantuy kben yuon chea nich chea kal.
12:46 AM, here it is...
បើដឹងថានំគមយួនឆ្ងាញ់ម្លឹងៗទោះជាអស់នគរ ក៏មិនអីដែរ ហាហាហា!
ស្ដេចខ្មែរងាប់ក្រោមកន្ទុយក្បឹនយួនជានិច្ជជាកាល៕
Is it good transcribing 12:46?
All of you are fucking assholes. No respect for women at all, motherfuckers. Everything you say toward her is indirectly meant for your mothers, sisters, and daughters too since they are all women. For your ignorant ass donkey heads information, King Mother (Monique) was born of Italian-French father and a Khmer Madame from Phnom Penh. Some of you idiots don't know that. She was born in Vietnam because her father was stationed there. Learn your history, dumb fuckers.
And, yes she is very beautiful in her youth. All of you are just jealous you never gonna get any woman of beauty. That's why you're bitching on the internet. Get out side and get a life already.
Yet everything is coming of your mouth/keyboard isn't it? looks who's a fucking asshole eh 1:43am?

I respect and defend woman, all women and I respect life even those of animals but NOT the Yuon whores and the criminal that advanced and sold pussy to expand bloody crimes, culture and abjectness.
Decent race and great people win with and in intelligence, dignity, greatness but the yuon race run policy with its grandma, mothers, sisters and daughters pussy to expand its race, its crimes and its culture dark of crimes and abjectness and still proud of it. What’s great race !
I have no problem with mixed lovers but Shame to those little men who bend down its head for yuons to use and to commit crime because of little personal needs.

Those men who have sex with yuon women or have yuon women as wife claimed to be Khmer nationalists specially among Khmer rouge leaders but often they sold nation, national interest and people life to the pride of their sex pass with yuon women. The national pride of these men is sure cheaper than a sex pass with yuon women. I don’t think that yuon women have anything special but it is the illness of these men mentality and characters. They are old sick psycho and criminals
Well 2:34 AM, have you asked/talked/spoken to either the American or French Men yet? Come back when and after you have done that, okay?
Ah khmer krorhârm
Sarkozy : casse toi pauvre con!
1:43am, you are right. In fact, I'm not a royalist nor am I a republican, I just say the truth. Monique is not ugly, she is/was beautiful. People can see with their own eyes the pictures when she was young. She is not Vietnamese as republicans portrayed her to be. Her father was a Frenchman of Italian descent named Mr. Izzi. He was a teacher in Saigon when Monique was born. Monique's mother was a Khmer of Chinese descent, the same as most of the people here in KI. Her name was Madame Pomme Peang. So, if people want to describe her real racial mix, she has no Khmer blood, only Italian and Chinese blood. But, if we describe her like that, then most of us here in KI, cannot be described as Khmers either because most of us has Chinese, Vietnamese blood etc. I hope people here got the message.

Bravo!!
Am do not give a shit about this bitch,because of this bitch my country turn to hell on this planet
here is my reason that I hate this Viet whore# She sent the supplies ,weapons ,medicine,rice and dry fishes to exchange with the fake money to destroy Cambodian economies ,while the khmer custom stop the trucks load 200 to 300 of them ,the paper from the royal palace to release all these traitor trucks if I recall it Om Manarin one and Monique two ,the Vietcong suppliers at Rattanak Kiri.
Pom Peang the bitch's mother this old witch smuggled the weapons from Kg Som sea Port and sent out to Vietcong the same route Kratie amd Rattanak kiri.
After March1975,Lon Nol and US had sent
few special people to ask Sihaknuk
to return back to Phnom Penh but these two Pom Peang And Monique had told Sihaknuk no one can't touch Sihaknuk because Sihak nuk is Prah Baat toimeuk so why Cambodian appointed the new president because SiHaknuk refused to return( Cambodian Ambassador appointed to Cuba had claim that)
So this bitch pretty much is youn.

You got proof?
C'est vraie la majorité des SREY YOUN sont belles , comme toujours ses filles se ressemblent à PLE LAVOEUR , mais je préfere les femmes et les vraies cambodgiennes elles sont PLUS CHARMANTES ET PLUS PARIOTIQUES ET ELLES SONT DES NEARY SNEHA CHEAT
12:57PM
I can testify it in the international court if they need me I was eleven years old I was in (class de sept)My dad was a military camion driver on that route so pretty much it accurate. What you further need more?
Monique was raised by her Vietnamese mother. The fact of her being a Vietnamese whore was repeatedly spoken over and over more than ten thousands times by Lon Nol government.
cette traînée est une vulgaire ancienne putain, bâtarde d'une autre putain
