Sekong River – Attapeu, Laos

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 […]

តា​ ជក់ ខ្សៀ មួយ

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 path

Riding through the Jungle

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 […]

Early Morning River Crossing

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 […]

Transition between rainy and dry season in cambodia

Transition to Rain

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 […]

Sun setting behind the mountains of the sesan river

Camping on the Sesan

I finally indulged my dream of camping on the beach a couple weeks ago. We were waaaay out in the middle of nowhere, miles downriver from Taveng (which is already just an outpost in the middle nowhere), just a few miles south of the National park. We drove out onto the beach in the 4-Runner […]

the post-stormy evening sky over taro plants

Sky after storm

As the rains begin in earnest, the swollen overtakes this spot. But for now, as the season transitions, it’s a beautiful area, right in the center of town. I love the taro plants in the foreground.
