After a good afternoon rain, the sky is always incredibly beautiful here. Just stunning. This is a 9 image HDR vertorama. I tonemapped it in Photomatix, and then pulled in into Photoshop to add an adjustment layer of Levels to increase contrast, an adjustment layer of Curves to make the colors pop, and an adjustment […]
She had gauges before gauges were cool…. It’s funny how gauges are cool in the States in certain subcultures. Here among the Tampuan, Kreung and Jarai hilltribes, they’re popular among the senior citizen crowd. No indigenous teenager in their right mind would get gauges; that’s would be the American equivalent of wearing pleated, cuffed blue […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
I shot this last week out in the highlands in Northeast Cambodia. The ethnic minority hilltribes are all prepping their fields to prepare for planting their dryland rice next month. It’s pretty cool to watch: they clear an acre or two of the forrest (by hand!), then burn the brush and fallen trees to return […]
Taken in Ratanakiri, Cambodia. Winding red-dirt road between the frontier town of Banlung, and the tiny, sleepy settlement of Taveng. This road is so dusty. After an hour on my little motorcycle, my face was red and my shirt had turned magenta. The worst is if you come up on a truck going just a […]
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, […]
