hilltribe farm in northeast Cambodia

the winding road

The thatched hut of an ethnic minority farmer clings to the hillside of a cassava farm. This is Northeast Cambodia as it is today: the wild allure of virgin forrest replaced by a beauty more uniform, more cultivated, more agrarian.

Monsoons over the Rice Paddy

Monsoons in the Low Country

I’ve spent lots of time in the South of Cambodia over the last few weeks. Life is so different down there compared to the rolling hills of Ratanakiri. Endless rice fields and sugar palms as far as the eye can see, big white cows with humps on their shoulders, haystacks, and stately old wooden houses […]

Cambodian Homestead

Old Time Kampuchea

I love those sugar palms. I think they make everything so exotic and tropical. Someday, I’ll plant a row down the promenade to my house… Siem Reap, Cambodia 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 […]

ancient stairs into wat phou

Ascending an Ancient Staircase

Flanked by arboreal sentries, gnarled guardians of a bygone era, a 1000-year-old staircase at Wat Phou ascend into the mountain to a linga bathed in a freshwater spring.

More photos from our Laos trip — ប្រទេស ឡាវ ឆ្នាំ ២០១៣

Here’s a few more photos from our trip to Laos last month. The country is so beautiful, mountainous and green I couldn’t help snap photos left and right, trying to (mostly unsuccessfully) capture the beauty and exotica around me. Our trusty Toyota 4-Runner faithfully bore us all over the Southern part of the country, with […]

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 […]

Granite columns of Rock at Halong Bay, Vietnam

Halong Bay

Another vintage post, circa Vietnam 2009: Halong bay is breathtaking. Gliding through the sheer granite stone columns on a Viet junk is surreally beautiful, even with the early summer haze which can curse South East Asia. The bay would have been perfect if it weren’t for the cattle mentality that caused all tour boats to […]

Mystery—អង្គរវត្តមុនប្រះអាទិត្យរះ

Day and night meet….fleeting, mysterious, undisturbed…..as dawn breaks at Angkor. Part of the breathtaking morning experience watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat, as the stars slipped away one by one as sun slowly unveiled the temple, as it had every morning for a thousand years

Red dirt road in Ratanakiri Province, Northeast Cambodia

Road To Nowhere – ផ្លូវ នៅ រតនកីរី

Another vintage post from 2009 This is a pretty typical scene from Ratanakiri, Cambodia. There are a lot of hills, a lot of jungle, and plenty of red clay. I shot this Sunday afternoon. I saw some really cool cloud banks building up, and set out on my dirt bike to find a couple of […]
