Working the Streets of Vietnam

For most of our trip I have been capturing street scenes. It’s a major part of travel and the photography tour didn’t disappoint here; we had plenty of chances to work the streets.

We started at 23/9 Park, Saigon. Locals were doing their morning exercises and playing various games. Stalls were setting up across the road to feed the hungry athletes.



Binh Tay Market in Cho Lon (Chinatown) was next on our itinerary and the piles of salt caught everyone’s eye. I wandered off and found an impressive variety of thongs.



Temples are another place to photograph, but I usually avoid them as I feel its wrong to distract people from their prayers. But when there were six other photographers walking around with cameras bigger than mine, I thought it would be ok. Plus, how could you not take photos with this little boy hanging around.
