Bruce Sharp

Bruce Sharp lives in Chicago, where he (just barely) maintains Mekong.Net in his spare time. His photographs have appeared in several magazines and newspapers, including the Washington Post, the Chicago Reader, and Natural History magazine. His photos from Cambodia appear in several books, including Nicholas Coffill's Photography in Cambodia, David Chandler's Brother Number One, and on the cover of Richard Lunn's book, Leaving Year Zero. His still photos have also appeared in a handful of television documentaries. As a writer, his publication credits include the Christian Science Monitor, the Providence Journal-Bulletin, and a number of other newspapers and magazines. His photography is now posted online at kodachrome.net.

He has been involved with Cambodian issues since 1987, when he began tutoring refugees for the Cambodian Association of Illinois, and for the Southeast Asia Center.

He is currently working on several short stories and longer works of fiction, which he expects to languish indefinitely on the hard drive of his laptop.
