Today’s work included gathering images and stories from an English language school in Battambang, a long road trip out towards Pailin, Cambodia, not far from the Thai border (this area was the stronghold of the Khmer Rouge, and it’s where Pol Pot died). Then it was a long ride past rice fields being planted….to Phonm Pehn, Cambodia’s capitol city

Assignment: The Asia Foundation, Cambodia
I’m documenting the Asia Foundation’s work toward effective governance, democracy, and growth in Cambodia. It’s hot here…hotter than Thailand. In my opinion, Cambodia really just has two seasons, hot and hotter! Although the heat sometimes makes it very uncomfortable to work here, the Cambodian people are just so genuinely wonderful, that you kind of forget about the heat. There’s a joy and radiance in the faces and the personalities here, often captured one’s photos.
