Vietnoir
Vietnam is the only country I have ever wanted to photograph entirely in black and white. It is a timeless, magical, mesmerizing place.
I fell in love with Vietnam the moment I first visited the country several years ago. I have returned many times since and the magic is always the same ... from the mountains in the north to the mangrove swamps in the south. From Hanoi to Hoi An, Saigon to Sapa, Hai Phong to Hue.
The images here are all monotone: some shot in film, although most are digital; this is a very personal collection of the people and places I have visited over the years.
Vietnoir is a moveable feast: I carry hundreds of unseen and unedited images from my previous trips; and whenever I have time ~ on a plane, in a bus, on a boat, in a coffee shop ~ I take out my computer and add another image to the Vietnoir files.
