Went inside for some more photos. The light was too low so I had to crank the camera up to 800-1600 ISO.
Strange meat & seafood everywhere. This place smelled terrible.
Inspecting chicken.
Gutting & cleaning a snakehead. These fish can breathe oxygen, so they stay fresh.
Orussey Market has three floors. The top two are filled [...]

Got inspired the other day and decided to blitz a local market with my cameras. Things start early in Cambodia, and I wanted to catch some of the crazy Saturday morning market action. Rolled out of bed at 5:30 and took a moto over to the Orussey Market, which was just starting to get busy. [...]

Being big on history, I did a lot of background research on Cambodia during the cold, dark Minnesota winter. And since Cambodia’s recent history is mostly dark and disturbing, I wound up reading several books on the Khmer Rouge era. I was curious to see firsthand what sort of legacy the genocide has had. Still [...]

Just got back from HKL’s annual general assembly in Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s primary port and resort town. It took five cramped, sweaty hours in a packed bus to get there, but it was good to get away from Phnom Penh for a bit.

Day:
And at night:
These tenements a couple blocks from the apartment are fully occupied by squatters. Apparently there are plans to tear this place down, but they won’t go quietly. I took these two photos a couple days apart, and didn’t realize I had captured almost the exact same angle until just now. It’s an interesting [...]

When I was doing research on places to explore and photograph in Phnom Penh, I came across some interesting articles and photos about an enormous landfill somewhere in the industrial outskirts of the city. The problem was I had no idea where it was, other than it was called the Stung Meanchey dump. I consulted [...]

St. 312 is just south of Independence Monument. It has a (mostly) quiet, secluded feel to it, a welcome respite from the everyday craziness of Phnom Penh.
Garbage & recycling collection around here consists of putting it in the gutter and letting the scavengers have a go at it. Whatever we leave out here somehow disappears.
These [...]

Finding a good place to stay long-term in Phnom Penh can be hit-or-miss, but fortunately I was able to sign a lease within three days of arrival. I’d expected to spend my first month in some guesthouse, so this was a welcome surprise.
$300/month for three bedrooms & two bathrooms, split with my roommate.
I’m on the [...]
