ICNY Photo Exhibit: Now Online

A Krueng woman reviews photographs of herself as neighborhood children look on, Ratanakiri, Cambodia.

One of the most exciting experiences I've had in New York was the chance to display my photographs of Cambodia's indigenous villages this June and July at the International Center in New York. The June 12th reception was a wonderful night; friends and family from all over the country came to check out the pictures and enjoy each other's company.

Many people who wanted to be there couldn't make it. Fortunately, the whole exhibit is now online at my RedBubble site. Just click on the 'ICNY' tag and you can see every picture displayed during the show. It's like a trip to New York, without getting on the subway.

Why Purple Mango? In Khmer, the same word - svay - can mean either the color purple or the mango fruit.* To a journalist, it's a reminder that there are many different ways to interpret a single event, and that there are often surprising connections between us.
(*It also means syphilis, but that's less charming.)
