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. I’m continually adding photos to this “Life on Two Wheels” photo series. […]
In Cambodia, waiting for a light to turn green is a social gathering. 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, […]
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 […]
