Some photos from the darker parts of my travels in Cambodia. Nearly half the population of Cambodia was wiped out under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.

Been spending some time in the color darkroom.

Crossing the street in Vietnam is an adventure in itself. Yet after riding a motorbike you somehow find harmony in the chaos. As long as you're in control. I never got passed holding on for deal life on the back of one.

I found this cart in Bangkok's Chinatown. Street food is huge in this part of the world.
