Cambodia, March 2001: At Phnom Penh’s derelict railway station, it took some persuasion to be allowed to purchase tickets south.

Palermo notte

Palermo, Sicily, 2004: Even though the bad old days of Palermo had passed, it was still a pretty tense place in 2004. Struggled to find a place for a drink but eventually found what seemed to be the only sign of life in Palermo at night. Grabbed this shot with an Olympus XA2 set on […]
