Come & Go Vietnam

A cracking photo essay from local photographer Mads Monsen, focussing on those people who add some life, colour and the occasional annoyance to the streets of Saigon - its street vendors.

A great idea this - a photo contest to highlight the effects of climate change on the Mekong Delta, also known as Ricebowl of Vietnam because of the huge amount of food it produces.

So if you’ve been to the Delta recently and taken any relevant pics, visit the competition website and upload them!

Thanks to Thomas Wanhoff for the link.

In a probably doomed bid to become entirely self-sufficient, I am making some tentative efforts to learn Photoshop. Unfortunately whilst looking for online tutorials I happened upon a Tiltshifting tutorial, and have become addicted to this mysterious (to me anyway) process.

Slideshow of my first efforts below. If you have any good Vietnam tiltshift pics, please share them!
