kbal domrey commune

today we visited a commune in the northern province of kratie, located outside a logging factory. a commune in cambodia is similar to the idea of a town. it is a community comprised of about 10 villages ranging in size, with a population around 10,000 people. each commune has an elected official, and each village has a separate chief.

Vassar Alumnae Feature!

Hello, Hello!

My past work travels with Elemental Productions has been featured on the Vassar Alumnae Hub! The feature includes a short bit about our crew's use of visual mediums as an ethnographic tool throughout the trip, as well as a 14 image photo essay. Pretty stoked to have been able to accompany my photographs with some of my personal thoughts and anecdotes from the trip!

Check, check, check it out on the link below.

Upcoming work in Cambodia!

Hello, all! My blog is in definite need of some TLC and new material but I have been so busy moving into my new digs in New York City that I haven't been able to catch up yet! That being said, I would like to share my upcoming job with you...

Come Thursday, I will be traveling to Cambodia for two weeks with UCLA Sociology Professor, Patrick Heuveline, to begin creating the visual component of his research on "Family and the Home". 

Since 2000, Professor Heuveline has been studying "how childhood family structures affect child wellbeing and the transition to adulthood" since the Khmer-Rouge period (1975-79). My job will be to communicate his research visually and document his subjects, their environment and most importantly, their stories.

I am beyond excited to get working and hope this dream of mine continues to rock 'n roll.
