While I have made my way back to the United States some exceptional graphic work continues in Cambodia from the mind and eye of Chean Long.
Long and I have explored Cambodia near and far together over the past two years capturing memorable experiences and images. Long's work is exceptional and deserves the attention of those that appreciate the subtle nuances of nature and humanity. I miss exploring with Long.
Here are some snippets of one of my last evenings out while living full-time in the capital city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. While I'm thrilled to be back in the United States, I already miss many of my friends. I also will forever appreciate the visceral, free-wheeling, calm chaos that is the nature of Phnom Penh.
In this little video, I am out with the lovely and fun Victoria. My good Cambodian friend Chean Long is a good part of the fun and does most of the shooting. You will see Long near the end of the video.
I love to tease Long that no-way he is Cambodian...just look at him. He is a Spaniard that happens to speak fluent English as well as 'Khmer', the language of Cambodia. Go figure.
As you view this video, take into account how the third-world and the first-world is melting together in what you see.
My friends Long and Phany just took delivery of a very cute 12-week old Dachshund they have named, 'Dancer'. The name choice has a rather funny origin.
A commercial sign company here in Phnom Penh sells an 11"x14" aluminum sign that can be found around town. The sign boldly depicts the face a very mean German Shepard with psycho eyes. Very disturbing image.
In bold red letters, under the disturbing dog face image is the word: DANCER!
Best story I have ever heard in the category of, 'how I named my dog'.
Both Long and Phany travel for pleasure and work on occasions. When they are gone, how best to protect DANCER! from danger? There is only one pet resort in Cambodia. Long and I went to check it out. Here is my review.
An American based in California recently returning from living two years as a small land developer in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. While I have retained holdings in Cambodia, my current focus is land development in Washington State. The market I am addressing is up-market, family recreation ranches.
