The First Obama Inauguration in Burma
Four years ago today I had the great good fortune to be on assignment in Mandalay as part of This Day of Change. The project documented what the world did on the day the United States inaugurated Barack Obama – a globally significant change of government no matter how you feel about the the guy in [...]
What Does a River Look Like?
Photos from my continuing project on the Rio Grande. You can see more in the scrolling gallery on the front of my site.
UXO in Gastronomica
File under: Better late than never This was in the Winter 2011 issue of Gastronomica magazine, a wonderfully produced and thoughtful publication about food, in all its permutations. Thought you might like it. If you do (or even if you only think you do), go get yourself a copy.
Eating in Bangkok
Working on a site update, and came across this little piece of not-so-long-ago history from the Banglamphu District in Bangkok. Of course, these days, it might be a little difficult to eat on the street in the City of Angels, as much of it is under water.

Visiting foreigners – and those who have lived in Cambodia for years – know this spirit world exists, but we often miss [...]
Child Labor in Cambodia

The pictures, the kids, the camera, the photographer; all are pretty normal. For the kids, that can be unfortunate. The idea for this exhibit [...]
Eternal Harvest
The Legacy of American Bombs in Laos Between 1964 and 1973, in an offshoot of the Vietnam War, the U.S. military dumped 4 billion pounds of explosives on Laos, making it the most heavily bombed place on earth. Up to 30 percent of those bombs did not detonate, and they remain in the Laotian soil [...]
Scattershot Portfolio
So the truth is that I shoot a lot of different things for a lot of different people all over the place. This is a small – and nearly random – sample of my usual work. In a way, I envy people who shoot the same sorts of things in the same general ways day [...]
