After a whole lot of procrastination but mainly what I like to call taking a year off from everything, I’ve decided to revive the photo blog I set up on tumblr a couple of years back after my trip to Perú.

I managed to find a fairly minimalistic template that would display a large enough version of the photos I posted to fill up the screen of my 13″ Macbook. My goal is to post about a picture a day and nothing more. A photo, a title, if it has one, and a few tags. I’ll save this space for more detailed accounts. This won’t make my Flickr account obsolete but it will function like the ultimate repository of my photo catalog.

So please, do me a favor and check out my tumblr photo blog. Thx.

central market, phnom penh

I still have no idea how to correctly pronounce the name ‘Phnom Penh.’ I ignore the initial ‘P’ and say it “nom pen.” I’m sure I must have caught this pronunciation early on so it stuck (just like the French pronunciation for Laos where you drop the ‘s’ -Lao), but I’ve also heard many people say it “Puh-nom Pen.” Although that doesn’t roll off the tongue as well and feels a little awkward. Then again it’s a Khmer word, so what do I know.

This is the interior of the Central Market in said city. I took this shot back in October 2009. The second time I dropped by the capital of Cambodia, around mid January 2010, the inside of the market was closed for renovations. Despite this, it was as busy as ever.

Just a dollar’s worth of mototaxi fare from either riverside or the Russian Market, it’s always a good place to find any sort of knock off you might be searching for. Or just about anything, really.
