For those of us who were wondering, a God lives in Phnom Penh. I saw him. His name is God. He fixes shoes. He practices on the sidewalk near the corner of Street 130 and Street 5, in the safe zone behind a traffic signal post. Hes probably a modern-day Buddha, but so what if hes not? He did very nice work on my American flip-flops, agreed to my camera shots, offered me a stool on the curb, smiled in the most penetrating of ways. He sat there still while the glue set up, thinking about something in the language that stands between us. I framed the pictures tight, because otherwise I would have overhung the street, and would eventually have been knocked on my ass by a motorbike carrying 600 Hello Kitty lunch boxes. Or whatever. These are the only pictures I took today that mean anything.
