So I put together a demo reel the other day, made up of some work from the first half of this year. It’s nearly all just video shot in Ratanakiri and Northeast Cambodia for my current job. Nearly all the shots feature Brao people, an ethnic minority group who live along the Sesan River . […]
On a work trip to Laos last month, Emily and I took a morning to go see Wat Phu. Wat Phu’s an ancient temple on the banks of the Mekong in Laos. The temple’s pretty cool. It’s partway up a mountain, right at the base of some huge stone cliffs. And the whole thing has […]
The gorgeous Sesan river in Ratanakiri, Northeast Cambodia. If the planned Lower Sesan 3 and 4 dams are approved by the government (and financed by a Chinese or Vietnamese company), all of this will be under water someday; the Brao people, who’ve lived here for thousands of years, will be see their ancestral lands disappear. […]
She had the most striking eyes; she’s one of the few Asians I’ve ever seen with this shade. I’ve seen other Tampuans with striking eyes, but normally for how intense and dark they are. She almost reminds me of Sharbat Gula, the green-eyed Afghan girl of National Geographic fame. Please feel free to share my […]
Attapeu, Laos. Attapeu was interesting and pretty far off the beaten path. I spent a few days exploring south of the Bolevan Platteau, looking for minority villages. I found a vast HAGL rubber plantation and a lot of illegal lumber while I was at it…. HAGL has made news in England recently for its ties […]
Whew, it’s been a week since the last upload! I have the dual problems of spotty Cambodia internet (out for 4 days) and a job that’s kicked into high gear over the last week. I haven’t even had time to process photos from my time in Laos a couple weeks ago. Soon, hopefully. Anyway, here’s […]
Riding an elephant down a jungle road in Northeast Cambodia. It’s a pretty cool area. Off to one side is a crater lake, and on the other is the steep bank, rising up away from the lake, covered in jungle. It’s pretty exotic and there’s bamboo groves everywhere. Please feel free to share my images—they […]
Crossing the Sesan River, early in the morning, in Northeast Cambodia. On one side of the river, there’s a phone number scrawled on a piece of plastic affixed to a tree; if you need to cross, you call the number, and hope that the ferry operator isn’t too busy to come. Thankfully he came within […]
Taken in Ratanakiri, Cambodia. Cambodian sky between the seasons is always gorgeous. Something about the early summer heat causes some amazing weather patterns. Every day one experiences some new amazing sky, thunderstorm, or incredibly shaped cloud. It’s like art. 9 image panorama. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen! Use […]
