Ship Captain…. តាសក់ស្កូវ

I’m sure he’s not a ship’s captain, I just thought he looked like one. This is actually an older post from my Flickr page, but I like how the image turned out, and felt like posting it again… He reminded me of what a seafaring man, or a ships captain, would look like, with his […]

Carving a pineapple, Cambodia style

Pineapple that doesn’t hurt your mouth…. ម្នស់

Cambodia has amazing pineapple, somehow perfectly grown and formulated to not hurt your mouth. And it’s always so artfully cut… And most fruit grown in country is organic; most of it isn’t certified (yet), but I’m sure someday it will be (someone needs to start an organic certification NGO). Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Please feel free […]

A pretty young girl in Phnom Penh, Cambodge

Curious? ស្រ្តី ក្មេង មួយ នៅ ភ្នំ ពេញ

This little Cambodian girl eyed my wife and me impassively from her rickshaw—calm, serene, almost smiling…. we smiled, but she seemed shy. 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 link to www.ethancrowley.com and give credit […]

talking and riding; a moped driver in Phnom Penh, Camboja

Life on Two Wheels

I shot these photo just a couple minutes apart, I thought it was pretty funny. Cambodians can do almost anything on the back of a scooter, including nap; You often see moto-taxi drivers napping on their bikes while they wait for a customer. I’m continually adding photos to this “Life on Two Wheels” photo series. […]

View from a Tuk Tuk at a traffic light; Phnom Penh

Traffic Light Community

In Cambodia, waiting for a light to turn green is a social gathering. People jocky for position, inching forward to occupy every possible centimeter of the coveted real estate towards the front of the pack. The scooters weave their way forward, snaking between the less maneuverable cars and tuk-tuks. Those making a right turn just […]

One of the ubiquitous scooters scurrying through the streets of any Southeast Asian City

Scoopy the Scooter

One of the ubiquitous scooters that scurry through the streets of any Southeast Asian City; the bane of any car-driver’s existence. Very retro-looking, kinda styled to look like a Piaggio or a Vespa. I think it’s kinda ugly. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen! Use them for your non-profit, […]

moto taxi driver on monivong ave, phnom penh

Streets of Phnom Penh

Moto-Taxi driver in Phnom Penh. His old green Honda Super Cub is probably from the Seventies. For $0.80, one can get nearly anywhere in Phnom Penh on the back of one of these, and can also be reminded of how good it is to be alive when you nearly get run over by a Lexus. […]

Royal Palace on the Riverfront, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Preabaromareachaveang ព្រះ បរមរាជវាំង

It’s seriously called that. It’s the Khmai word for Royal Palace. Just saying it is good for some serious vocal calisthenics. The Palace is really an excellent testament to Khmer architecture. In front of the Palace is a nice park overlooking the river. The park is a great place to hang in the evenings. You […]
