I missed that one. It was on the 22nd wasn’t it? I have a feeling nothing much changed for the better since I did a story about water 23 years ago.
MALI. Gao. 13/02/1987: Man drinking water from well.
My story on Koh Ker is featured on the Magnum homepage.
CAMBODIA. Koh Ker (Preah Vihear). 23/02/2010: Moat of Prasat Thom, the main temple of the Koh Ker complex, containing a large number of temples built by Jayavarman IV between the years 924 and 944, spread over a vast area around the Rohal, a huge man-made water reservoir.
It is also available here, but without watermarks…
Here is my entry to the Oskar Barnack Prize. You never know… There is a lot of good stuff out there…
CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 24/01/2009: Tools of the workers hired to destroy houses during the final eviction of Dey Krohom.
I have made available a series of 15 slideshows on land issues in Cambodia. I will be adding more in the future.
By clicking a small icon in the navigation bar on the right, you can see the slideshows FULL SCREEN.
The slideshows are intended as an alternative to my website for those with sufficient bandwith.
Enjoy the experience…
CAMBODIA. Saem (Preah Vihear). 17/11/2009: Children playing in front of Social Land Concession school created by General Pen Lim. A new school building is under construction nearby.
Just a few follow-up pictures on the fire of the previous day…
CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 10/03/2010: Located along the railway tracks, the Wat Neak Kavean settlement was destroyed by a fire in the early night of March 8th. The settlement would likely have been removed and the 150-200 families relocated in the near future. Fire victim resting under temporary shelter next to the site of the blaze.

I also went past the place where the Toeuk Thla fire took place in 2008. It was completey rebuilt, with wooden houses next to each other and little access to fire trucks. Ready for the next fire…
I just updated my website with two short new stories.
One about the aftermath of yesterday’s fire at Wat Neak Kavean.
CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 9/03/2010: Located along the railway tracks, the Wat Neak Kavean settlement was destroyed by a fire in the early night of March 8th. The settlement would likely have been removed and the 150-200 families relocated in the near future.
And one about the Khmeropédies rehearsals I have been talking about recently.
CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 8/03/2010: CHUMVAN Sodhachivy during rehearsals of Khmeropédies, a choreography by Emmanuèle Phuon, before a tour taking them to Hong Kong and New York.
Some 150 houses were destroyed in a blaze which ripped through a settlement located between the railway tracks and Wat Neak Kavean, not far from Boeung Kak lake. With the rehabilitation of the railway system finally under way, I would be surprised the people from this settlement will be allowed to rebuild their house on the same location.
Over the last ten years hundreds of families have been uprooted by fires: the 2001 Bassac fire, the 2002 Bloc Tanpa fire, the 2008 Toeuk Thla fire.
And a few I have missed…
