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….

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.

This kind old yeay (grandma) smiled at Emily and me when we gave her a few thousand riels, and said “May you have many, many grandchildren.” I guess time will tell if she’s right…… So I have a short guest post on the travel blog Bucket List Publications; it’s a blog aimed at helping people […]

Stepping back from the fame of the enigmatic, ambiguous faces, the Bayon is pretty impressive from afar. 9 photo HDR panorama, stitched in Photoshop’s photomerge feature.
