Siem Reap is a small city in northwestern Cambodia. It serves as the access point to the temples of Angkor and has as such transformed itself into a major tourist hub. While in 2000 most streets in Siem Reap were made of mud, in 2006 most streets were paved and modern buildings had replaced the simple buildings of the past. After seeing the temples of Angkor, it is easy to see why Siem Reap has become such a sought after destination. It is absolutely spectacular and touches the soul in an intimate way.

I have never been anywhere in my travels like Burma. It is impossible to describe in words. And for the first time in my photographic pursuits, I am unable to completely accomplish this in images. This is why it is so magical. It is truly a world of dreams that speaks to you like no other place I have been.
