My Photo in the Financial Times

Earlier this month the photographic editor of the Financial Times contacted me and asked if she could use the below shot in a feature about the changing face of Phnom Penh.

Of course, I said yes, and forwarded on an untouched version of the image for their use.

The piece was published both online and in print yesterday.

When this was a prison…

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – I did make a promise to never take photos at Tuol Sleng or Cheoung Ek, the sites of so much horror during the reign of the Khmer Rouge (one of many similar sites scattered all around the country). Sometimes you just have to get the shot. I can’t explain my change of heart. But I still don’t think I’ve sold out the memory of the 3 million Cambodians who died due to the policies of Angkar, the government of Democratic Kampuchea.

Therefore, I offer the following shots without further comment.
