Angkor Photo Workshop 2015: Battambang, Cambodia
Ah, Battambang Cambodia; the real deal, with it’s gritty, oil encrusted machine shops, its defunct railroad station and interesting life along the tracks. With authentic local markets selling all kinds of foods, and the famous bamboo train. Indeed, Battambang is one of my favorite places to shoot. It’s always a pleasure to introduce my Angkor […]

Battambang: Cambodia’s Second City
Battambang is Cambodia’s second largest city and the capital city of Battambang province in northwestern Cambodia.

Update from Cambodia: As I write this, I’m sitting at the Foreign Correspondent’s Club in Phnom Penh. It’s the day that participants of my annual Angkor Photo Workshop are out “working on their stories” and I have a chance to catch up on correspondence. Typically, I would be blogging about the ongoing workshop but I […]
Off The Beaten Track Cambodia
For the last 6 days I’ve been on the road in the remote eastern provinces of Cambodia, exploring new locations for a photo tour which I plan to offer in the near future. I’m a huge fan of Cambodia because it has so much more to offer than just the well trodden temples of Angkor […]
