The large stone faces look down at you with a mixture of timeless wisdom and incredible mischief. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494620875441-Y3TY9H2K5EIIW7IC3UX5/face_with_blurry_sammy.jpg Welcome - Angkor Wat, Cambodia - Photography - Scott Hoback The walls of the main temple of covered with beautiful carvings like this one.

This floating village of Cambodia was about an hour long TukTuk ride outside of Siem Reap, then another 45 minute ride by motor boat. Once at the edge of the village, we hopped aboard this man's kayak and were given a quiet tour of the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494620880585-V9TD115W5KCAT895YSEB/sammy_as_an_idol.jpg Welcome - Samantha as Celebrity - Angkor Wat, Cambodia - Scott Hoback American tourists are pretty rare in Cambodia. So, the sight of one this beautiful inspired this group of tourists to incorporate her into their photos as an impromptu model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1490393562261-S2KAGKRDGQ1QX0SE88DG/jess_portrait.JPG Welcome - Jessica - Portrait - Photography - Scott Hoback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1490393849731-PYG97MFDGNJKE0WCMT8W/arieljeremyfancy.JPG Welcome - Ariel and Jeremy - Portrait - Photography - Scott Hoback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1490394352129-F4IP16VQ93C5G7Z8L6I7/julia_gma.JPG Welcome - Julia and Ila Mae - Portrait - Photography - Scott Hoback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494541521675-EJXYABNKR2LI599IFYIN/sadie_face.JPG Welcome - Sadie - Portrait - Photography - Scott Hoback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494537250187-TT809DXMPXTKZY2CDIIH/monks_small.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511391753607-NWQAKTM68ZSVPR4UTNXK/Iceland+Sammy+and+Plane+Raw.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511393275148-7XFEDR3O58DLJTK9FGL0/Iceland+Glacier.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511391730683-JWXGJGD7TK0IYBXHDPXC/Iceland+Ice.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511393288376-FRG19OSFKFLTD8D0MF0L/Iceland+Glacier+Bay.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511393254067-5TNNMGLWUDEE43ZHL7WB/Iceland+Fairy+Falls.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511391754862-HL3NPYV4Y9TTD1Z5VYSZ/Iceland+Falls+and+House+Raw.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511393300925-G4YYPS08VR6OL3OWAUW0/Iceland+Sheep+and+Glacier.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511393306760-DSFYXYE8ZODVL43EBTK1/Iceland+Sheep+Skull.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511817745252-4Y2V00JXW279VCY98EUP/University_of_the_Pacific_Seal.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494524637820-SOF5H7F3AB9A4ETVZSCJ/DSCF9271.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494537496579-XDUL7OVJ2S1RFFAY3P6K/monks_small.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494540926637-01D5KRESDIA71RHHD2QR/IMG_1129.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1511818078666-UAXQ9OBYDWK7TLP0BR8J/University_of_the_Pacific_Seal.png Welcome https://www.scotthoback.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf563f414fb5423670e4f9/1494526792886-M8F85FEHCBDEWG70PRXO/wide_cavern.JPG Contact https://www.scotthoback.com/welcome-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1349577199654-C8A6HP2M4MLEBJXQ06MF/wilderness.png Welcome - Transient
