Good luck mate but i think that you are over qualified.You could try talking to stanley harper(kiwi poroducer) or mathew who is khmer mekong films.There is also http://www.camerado.com.
I have no interest in your TV skills
HOWEVER
I am interested in your skills as a shooter. I have a serious problem with rabid dogs AND itinerant construction workers in my street. Please Pm me with your preferred weapon and hourly rate.
ALSO
With an MA in the History of International Relations (emphasis in terrorism) you might want to consider setting up an agency that consults to pissed off expats like me who don't deal with the above problems very well
THE KID
Ok...now in all seriousness
MATE
that wide screen shot on your website of the monks walking around the corner is by far and away one of the best photos I have ever seen taken ion Cambodia.
I KID you not.
How can I purchase a file that I can turn into a metre long photo for my wall ? ( cheaper to get it done here ) Please PM me.
IN fact, every shot on that slide show is unreal. You are a very talented photographer.Respect .
THE KID
I just found these replies, didn't see them till now. Thanks for taking a look at my website. I am now in Cambodia and if you interested in that photo of the monks crossing the streets, I would be glad to blow one up for you.
Thanks for the advice as well!
Best,
Todd

Will I end up wearing a horizontally striped shirt rushing around the riverside panhandling?

Hey Anthony,

ML, there's only one thing for it, and you know it already so it's time to just jump in... you've got to post your "Come on you know you want to look at this" topic thread, just so you can see if you top a thousand views, or not. After a few bottles of red tonight might be just the time to start.

Yeah, I would have taken you up on it too - I thought that ML meant "my love"...
Agreed. Awesome photos. Instead of News Producing, mayhap you could even do a stint as Photographer Tour Guide like that Nathan Horton fella. Although....u WOULD have to know the place for long enough first.. lol. Or start a Gallery exhibiting and selling your works. Be sure to invite all the embassies and you're more likely to get more buyers and ppl interested in hving their portraits professionally taken.
