Vietnam 1993

The building on the headland

This is the Hotel we stayed in, present day "Dinh Bảo Đại".
I didn't take any photos of it as I was so limited with my film, a very tight budget. I love digital!

This group of photos was taken on my Minolta 9000 on "Luck Film" I must have bought in Vietnam. They are pretty poor quality.

They were taken in and round Nha Trang where we stayed in the workers quarters, in an old hotel called "Dinh Bảo Đại" (see above photos) The hotel was old French Provincial style and they made the best Iced Caffe ever. Served on the terrace over looking the South China Sea.

Minolta Film Camera - Ilford B&W

I miss using that old thing....

Kathmandu, kids in a sweet shop.

Pokhara

A bug got into my camera. I sat myself down on a pile of rock & took my camera apart to look for it. After about 10 very frustrating minutes I looked up and saw this big group of kids watching me. I quietly put the camera back together & started shooting. I love this little collection of photos.

Ronny Balhorn

I took this photo one night on a beach in Malaysia,Lit by fire light only, I balanced my camera on a couple of pillows set it to a long exposure of about 30 seconds, and asked Ronny to sit very still.

Taken - 1993

Same night, same deal
One of my favorite shots
My walking boots & diary, I love taking photos of shoes, they seem to have a real soul ....ha ha

Duck Men

Jeff & I rode our bikes out into the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Out in the fields these two guys rode up on bikes with bunches of live ducks hanging from the handle bars.

I love the depth of field in this.

Taken on my Minolta 9000 - film camera

Taken just down the road from Khe Sanh. I did ask her permision for this photo & she look right into my soul.....
This was a very powerful moment for me.

Again I love the depth of field in this. I miss my old camera

I used my very best Vietnamese to tell this lady she was beautiful,
I think the word was sắc đep
This was her laughing at me, The people in this fish market were fantastic.

I really like the movement in this shot!

Hoi An - 1993

Taken on my Minolta 9000 - film camera

Jeff didn't say a word through this & at the end he paid the guy with
everyone standing round watching.
When we walked away he very calmly said "Is my face bleeding?"
The razor being very blunt he thought his face was being ripped apart-there was not a scratch...

I just love the people in the background in this shot & the light on Jeff's face

My haircut was much more pleasant, The man before me said he'd tell the barber what I wanted if we would come and visit his school.....
I definitely got the better end of the deal. The school was an awesome experience.

Taken at Hue - Vietnam

Ilford B&W Film

This was in a bank in Nha Trang both of us were floored at how much money was just sitting on the table here. Even in Vietnam this was a lot of money.

These photos where taken in New Zealand
about 12 years ago on my old film camera.
I love these big daggy orange coats we borrow from mum & dad
& I still have that funny hat....

Milford Sound

I tried to recreate a photo I had seen.
It was not quite the same but I still love it Pierre looks so happy. Being the fish he is.
