Hanoi Street Life
Hanoi doesn't reveal itself all at once. It opens slowly — through early morning markets still dark before dawn, through scooter streams that move like water finding its path, through a vendor's face caught in a moment of stillness between the rush. These images are an attempt to stay in those moments long enough to photograph what's actually there.
