paul's birthday party
Paul, Gary, Bradford, Richard, and Antony. Check out Paul's website: www.mouthtosource.net. Bradford is going to have an art opening at the FCC December 1st. Antony runs the FCC. Richard runs a design studio. I just met Gary, I think he is an architect and works for the FCC in Siem Reap. After this we all went to the Dengue Fever show near the Russian Embassy.

dengue fever in phnom penh
The California band 'Dengue Fever' played a few shows recently. First at Maxine's, then at an outdoor stage near a very poor area. I got some good shots of the audience.

Well, the cool season has apearently begun. Everyone is complaining about how 'chilly' it is. Especially at night when the temperature dips down to 79 degrees...

water festival
A million Cambodians can’t be wrong...or can they? The country folk all descend on the capitol for the three day boat races and celebration of the full moon and reversal of the current of the Tonle Sap in November. Many come to sell their goods or set up make-shift restaurants on mats. If they are not selling something they are watching the incomprehensible boat races (long narrow row boats with teams representing government agencies, NGOs, nations, communes, radio stations, cities and villages), drinking ‘muscle wine’ and drooling maliciously at the tourists, or simply walking arm in arm through the massive crowds up and down the riverside. It seems like a civic duty that any and all trash be deposited in or near the river.

phnom penh
I bought a straw hat from this girl for a dollar. A group of Khmers seemed to think this was funny but then they gathered around the girl and each bought a hat. She sold all her hats.

angkor express
From Batambang we took the Angkor Express to Siem Reap. Our boat had trouble negotiating the narrow channels through the marsh leading to the lake. The three hour trip stretched out to seven.

batambang
I photographed the opening of a new youth center in a small village 20k outside of Batambang, and I donated several badminton sets and a dozen birdies. It was a difficult journey but well worth it.
