Travis Phillips: Angkor Electric Tattoo.

You are in Siem Reap, Cambodia and want to get that little something that lasts forever. Forget diamonds and stone carvings and head over to Angkor Electric Tattoo.

Travis Phillips has been tattooing for 15 years and has brought his expertise to Siem Reap. Previously, Travis tattooed at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Atlanta Georgia.

Gakken Madness!

Busted out the Gakkenflex and finished the roll I had in it. Took almost 6 months, I think.

Random Portraits

A trio of random portraits.

Rathana

The other Siem Reap.

You have seen the temples and can't tell them apart from a pile of rocks. You've donated more pencils to schools than you used when you were a child and you are tired of hiking up mountains to watch the ridiculously scenic sunsets.

You have a day left before your flight. What to do?

Atelier Coiffure

Last Saturday I had a shoot at Atelier Coiffure, a French professional hair salon in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Mélanie Montembault dolled up a couple of models for the night.

Hot fly action.

These two exhibitionists were getting it on on the railing of my balcony. Handheld shot.

When dragons attack...

Dragons are very powerful creatures and they like to cause a lot of damage. I was witness to such an attack back in 2008.

Was a young lad wandering the streets when suddenly a dragon rounded the corner leaving a trail of fire.

Bokator ល្បុក្កតោ

This is Say Tevine. He is a Bokator instructor in Siem Reap. Bokator is possibly Cambodia's oldest martial art. It is a battlefield art, not a combat sport like kickboxing.

The art was almost lost during the 1970's as the Khmer Rogue sought to destroy all knowledge and practitioners of Bokator were killed.

MaD Tuk Tuk Challenge

The stage is set. Tomorrow 5 teams set off in the MaD Tuk Tuk Challenge. Now in its third year, the challenge involves blasting around Cambodia in tuk tuks facing challenges and raising money and awareness for MaD - Making a Difference for Good!
You can follow their exploits on Twitter @MTTC  and on the Facebook page.

Here are the tuk tuks. All nice and clean. I can only imagine the after picture.
