New book, in the works

Hello Good Readers!

I'm extremely excited to announce that GoodReads will be hosting a giveaway of my upcoming book of photographs, Hip Hop Apsara: Ghosts Past and Present from Green Lantern Press. It includes over a hundred images I've taken in Cambodia in the last couple of years, documents of an emerging middle class and the struggle for economic justice that accompanies it. It also includes a lyrical essay on the nation under development, reflected in the massive public dance parties held in front of the prime minister's house that combine traditional Khmer ballet with modern hip-hop moves. It's my first book of photographs—something I've always wanted to do!—and the first edition features hand-made, two-process covers by Angee Lennard of Spudnik Press. (Whoever wins the giveaway will get one of those!)

So keep an eye out for it, and let me know if you have questions in the mean time!
