Phnom Penh Central Market ~ Cambodia

In 2000, I was brought to Phnom Penn on an music production assignment for the film "City Of Ghosts", starring Matt Dillon. Unfortunately, I was unable to visit Angkor Wat while I was there, but I was still quite awestruck by a lot of the French Colonial architecture, and most in particularly the art deco central market building. Although not viewable in this photo, there is a strange weathered, almost mildew-like patina covering the exterior that makes the entire structure appear haunted and alien, like some sort of abandoned space station from a 1930's Buck Rogers movie.

Jack Kerouac, Matt Dillon, and Me

Some years ago I had the pleasure of participating in an all star tribute CD to Jack Kerouac entitled Kicks, Joy, Darkness for the Rykodisc label. Matt Dillon brought me into the studio, where we recorded Mexican Loneliness, (plus one or two other Kerouac pieces that were included as bonus tracks for the special Japanese issue).
