“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings…” Daniel 2:20 This is probably my favourite gate into the old city of Angkor Thom. It’s almost always deserted, and is incredibly atmospheric and mysterious. This was once the entrance to the downtown of the largest city in the world. Put in that […]
Note: This is a blog which I originally wrote for our company blog, at ABOUTAsiatravel.com/blog. You can access the original article here. The open-air market is teeming with early-morning life. It’s a photographer’s paradise—vibrant colors, morning light and shadow, exotic foodstuffs, interesting people, as far as the eye can see. Fish swim circles in metal tubs, […]
There were quite the New Year’s goings on this evening within the walls of the old city of Angkor Thom. I didn’t feel like shouldering a tripod on our moto, so I spun the ISO knob and rocked the handheld, like a novice. It was only my second time to see the temples lit up […]

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 […]
