Mostly Monks, Luang Prang
It’s our free day in Luang Prang and I could have slept in, but it’s just to hard to resist another 6:30 am parade of monks, so most of us are up and out the door by 6:15. Today, I thought I would try for something different in terms of my images. Choosing a low […]

The streets are full of cars, trucks, motorbikes and the ubiquitous Thai Tuk Tuk. In the above photo, I panned […]

Cambodia: 30 Years After the Genocide:
Cambodia has a special place in my heart. I work there often, shooting stories for my NGO clients and also visit as part of an annual photo tour I lead. So, I always log on to the Phnom Penh Post to see what’s up and check on news about the ongoing trial of […]
