Angkor from a helipcopter

Above Angkor

I’ve been privileged to enjoy a host of unique adventures and cool experiences while living in Cambodia. One item, however, has remained stubbornly on my bucket list—in all my years here, I had yet to see Angkor from the air. Invariably, every time I fly out of Siem Reap, my seat is on the wrong […]

Monsoons over the Rice Paddy

Monsoons in the Low Country

I’ve spent lots of time in the South of Cambodia over the last few weeks. Life is so different down there compared to the rolling hills of Ratanakiri. Endless rice fields and sugar palms as far as the eye can see, big white cows with humps on their shoulders, haystacks, and stately old wooden houses […]

Old tower in Kampong Cham, Cambodia

French Colonial Watchtower – Kampong Cham, Cambodia

This tower was built by the French in the early 1900’s to guard the river, presumably against invaders or pirates. It’s fascinated me ever since I was in high school. We first drove through Kampong Cham in 2001, and I couldn’t get over how stately and old-world the tower looked, perched on the edge of […]

Evening in Kratie

Sunset over the Mekong river. Just shot this about 10 minutes ago, off of my hotel balcony in Kratie. Back in 2006 when I was traveling through Kracheh, I actually took a photo from this exact spot (same river, same hotel, same balcony), and posted it to Flickr. It was one of my earliest photos, […]

Cambodian Homestead

Old Time Kampuchea

I love those sugar palms. I think they make everything so exotic and tropical. Someday, I’ll plant a row down the promenade to my house… Siem Reap, Cambodia Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen! Use them for your non-profit, on your blog, for fun and the like, but please […]

gorgeous clouds at Yakloum Crater Lake

Yesterday’s Sky – Yakloum Crater Lake

The clouds were pretty cool yesterday at Yakloum. This time of year, when it’s not raining for a week straight, we get some very cool weather patters and gorgeous clouds. Wish I had a wide angle lens, there was way more sky I could have captured. Ratanakiri, Cambodia. Please feel free to share my images—they […]

Amazing Sky Panorama

Tonight’s Sunset

Beautiful sky in Northeastern Cambodia tonight. Something in the air gave cast a saturated, titian hue. After almost two weeks solid of monsoons, with nary a glimpse of the sun, that strip of blue is a welcome sight. 12 image hdr panorama, handheld; stitched in photoshop. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant […]

The highilght of the bolaven plateau - Tat Katamtok Waterfall

Gorgeous Tat Katamtok Waterfall – Bolaven Plateau, Laos – ទឹក ធ្លាក់ នៅ ប្រទេស ឡាវ

On the way back from Attapeu, we took this shortcut through a gap in the ginormous Bolevan plateau; the road snaked through the absolutely gorgeous valley, before we crawled up some of the steepest dirt roads I’ve ever been on. Then right in the middle of a steep dirt curve, there was a little clearing […]

Tribal Farm House in Cambodia

Farm House

I love the April sky in Cambodia; it’s always full of gorgeous puffy white clouds. Beautiful. Every Highlander has two houses, one in the village and one at the farm. The farm one is usually a little more than a lean-to, like this one above. During busy planting or harvesting times everyone lives out at […]
