panorama from phuket lookout

Looking off towards India

About 15 minutes past our hotel in Phuket, up a winding road, was this cool lookout point. Somebody built a pavilion up there, and you could sit and soak up the views in the shade. And you could talk to the two Thai rasta hippies who live there and sell homemade bracelets for a living. […]

the clear blue water at phi phi island

Phuket!

The “Amazing Thailand” advertising slogan from the 90’s really does apply to Phuket. Incredible beaches, lush mountains overlooking crystal clear water, granite karsts combined with amazing food to exceed our holiday demands. We feasted on various curries and pad thai and drank our faces off with spiced Thai iced tea while exploring the beaches, looking […]

gorgeous clouds at Yakloum Crater Lake

Yesterday’s Sky – Yakloum Crater Lake

The clouds were pretty cool yesterday at Yakloum. This time of year, when it’s not raining for a week straight, we get some very cool weather patters and gorgeous clouds. Wish I had a wide angle lens, there was way more sky I could have captured. Ratanakiri, Cambodia. Please feel free to share my images—they […]

Matt weaving - featured image

Weaving through the Ages

I thought she looked aged and wise and noble, as she deftly wove palm fronds together, a mat taking shape before my eyes. I watched for a while, trying to figure out how she was doing it, imagining if I could accomplish the same thing. I never did figure the pattern out—it was pretty complex. […]

Ship Captain…. តាសក់ស្កូវ

I’m sure he’s not a ship’s captain, I just thought he looked like one. This is actually an older post from my Flickr page, but I like how the image turned out, and felt like posting it again… He reminded me of what a seafaring man, or a ships captain, would look like, with his […]

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. 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 […]

climbing the bolaven plateau

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 […]

Amazing Sky Panorama

Tonight’s Sunset

Beautiful sky in Northeastern Cambodia tonight. Something in the air gave cast a saturated, titian hue. After almost two weeks solid of monsoons, with nary a glimpse of the sun, that strip of blue is a welcome sight. 12 image hdr panorama, handheld; stitched in photoshop. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant […]

The highilght of the bolaven plateau - Tat Katamtok Waterfall

Gorgeous Tat Katamtok Waterfall – Bolaven Plateau, Laos – ទឹក ធ្លាក់ នៅ ប្រទេស ឡាវ

On the way back from Attapeu, we took this shortcut through a gap in the ginormous Bolevan plateau; the road snaked through the absolutely gorgeous valley, before we crawled up some of the steepest dirt roads I’ve ever been on. Then right in the middle of a steep dirt curve, there was a little clearing […]
