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, […]
Some classic soviet muscle in the shape of a ZIL 131. This model was rolled out in 1967, and I have no doubt that this one is that old…. It offers a general visual encapsulation of all Russian vehicles; it is both intensely practical and aesthetically horrifying. In Khmer, they call these things a domrey […]
Last week I was working out in Taveng, a little village on a pretty big river tributary to the Mekong. This handmade suspension bridge hangs over a creek, connecting the two parts of the village. This kid was riding on the back of his friend’s bike, and hopped off for an impromptu pose for my […]
For some reason, when Emily & I were temple-hopping in Siem Reap a few weeks ago, we decided to try to experience experience at Angkor Wat. Foolhardy, yes. Touristy, check. I can’t even remember why we even attempted it. Sunrise at Angkor is a mainstay for the intrepid Temple tourist; which means that literally thousands […]
The sky yesterday was gorgeous. I went out to attempt some cloudscapes and timelapse for the film I’m working on, and ended up shooting some still photos instead. People were taking their evening walks around the lake, and setting up picnics on matts to celebrate the coming year. It was a gorgeous beginning to the […]
I shot this on Monday, on a trip North to Taveng to meet some villagers. Dry season is winding down here. We’ve had a few early rainstorms, harbingers of the coming monsoons; though tantalizingly short, they have cooled the air and brought blue skies back from the white haze of dry season. This time of […]
