Washing. It’s hard to conceptualize a place with villages where women still wash dishes in a stream behind the house while $300,000 luxury cars clog the city streets.

It’s quite a treat to be able to shoot urban photos and photos in the countryside on the same day. Shooting done for the day, it’s time to finish up this essay for graphicprose.com and publish for the first time on my own site. I hope it works well, and your input will help. ❤️

I’m almost embarrassed to say I caught this man with my cellphone. But I did. And I think he’s worthy of a black and white portrait. I really wish that motorbike was not there.

You’ve been thunderstruck. AC/DC and Metallica seem to be the most popular old school rock n roll bands among the young folks in Vietnam.

Dong Ba Market. So lucky to be able to hop the train for a 2 1/2 hour 100k luxury ride through some of the most beautiful country in the world before hanging out in some cafe, typing up a blog post, and testing the waters at graphicprose.com. The hardest part of starting a new project for me is a petrifying fear of failure. I think that’s probably fairly common. Being in very old cities, for some reason, reduces the anxiety. So I’m off to one tomorrow. 

Many people tell me I’m not that old, but I have more fused cervical vertebrae than fingers on my left hand, my hair is falling out, and I am fast reaching a place in my life where it’s either now or never. 

(At this point, I started going on a long rant about being a single father in the academy but just deleted it because it wasn’t nuanced enough. 😊)
More later. Long live the ancient cities.

Dong Ba Market with a 50mm lens. Because of mask mandates, it’s very difficult to capture an uncovered face in public. Particularly if your subject is wearing a non la (conical hat). I completely support the mandates, but they do pose a problem for street photography in Vietnam right now. I’m finding that shooting low gives the photographer the best chance to capture eyes and hidden facial expressions.

One thing I really enjoy doing is to kneel down and shoot up. It makes me look ridiculous enough to ensure people don’t take me seriously and gives me a bird’s eye view of conversations. Sometimes I end up shooting a whole lot of feet, but I usually end up with a few nice pics.
