Canadian in a Cambodian Mindfield; American with a Suitcase Full of Sutras John Michael Pocock

Never before published images of Cambodia seen through lens and mind. As for the suitcase, it has no pretension, no markings, no grandeur as is right for such a vessel. Yet it has carried within a world of worlds forgotten and promised. Its past cannot be comprehended, its future contemplated. It is what it is: what it has always been; what we hold to hold us as a chattel or a part of a dreamers fantasy. As for the young American he knows not. His vessel is empty. The Canadian has the burden ? in his mind ... in the Cambodian mindfield. This I can tell you and no more.
