Tuel Sleng • Phnom Penh

In April M&E went to Cambodia. In Phnom Penh we felt it was our social responsibility to visit Tuel Sleng or S21. This High School in the heart of the capital was converted into a torture chamber for enemies of the state. Soon almost everyone became an enemy as the Khmer Rouge cannibalised it’s population. The horror was palpable, walking through the genocide museum listening to recounted stories from guards, local citizens, government officials and the few surviving inmates was hard to take, to say the least. Still we were glad we attended least humanity forget to remain vigilant and never let this history repeat.

Space X Crow • Salton Sea

The Salton Sea is located in the Colorado Desert in Southern California. Being long time California residents we’d wanted to visit for sometime, we’d heard it could be an interesting place for photos. It didn’t disappoint. It’s surface is near two hundred and forty feet below sea level. There’s quite a ghost town feel to this inland sea with a depth of only five feet. We came across this structure and played dystopian dropouts for a few hours.
