Wedding Dress Street

On December 2, 2011 · In people, places

Our office here is just behind “Wedding Dress Street.” This particular shop caught my eye and I spent part of an evening waiting for the red-eye to Seoul, shooting people in the area…

Market People

On July 17, 2011 · In people

Sunday morning was cloudless – a rarety for Saigon – so I went out early and ended up coming across three markets: the local one by my villa, then the giant Phu Nuanh market, then the Tan Dinh one further down the road towards downtown.  Here are a few of my favorite people from the [...]

Seabold Vintage Market

On March 20, 2011 · In people, places, things

Twice a year, Bainbridge has a very special event – an old-fashioned  vintage style flea market held at the historic Seabold Community Hall on the north end of the island.

Liz Le Dorze, who founded “Seabold Vintage Market” in 2009, keeps it intentionally small with just 4-6 additional local vendors in [...]

My Generation

On February 24, 2011 · In people, verbal

There’s no question that the rate of change is accelerating. Just this morning I was thinking, “My world was different from my parents’ world.  But the world of our children – and the world they are creating – is far, far more different.”  It’s a world that I can still sort of grasp but which, [...]

A Change of Planes: A very short walk through Shibuya

On February 22, 2011 · In people, places

The red eye from Saigon arrived at 7:00am, and I had about seven hours before the connecting flight was to leave for Seattle.  The weather was beautiful. So I ditched the airport and took the train in to my favorite part of Tokyo, Shibuya – “crowded valley” – popularized by the film “Lost in Translation. Those Japanese [...]

Wedding Dress Street

On February 21, 2011 · In people, places

Ho Van Hue – the main street near our office here in Saigon – is filled with wedding dress boutiques.  Paradoxically, it also has a more-then-average number of casket shops. Still, from one person’s viewpoint, you’re never too young to start wishing….

Proud Mothers

It’s held at the Seabold Community Hall on Bainbridge Island, Washington and is one of the most popular vintage markets on the west coast.  Collectors line up as much as an hour before it opens, to grab the best stuff.

Harajuku

The fashion center of Japan, where people go to see and be seen.  I know it’s a cliche, but here the little kawaii (“cutsie”) girls dress in costumes, hang around Harajuku station and park, and even carry model release forms for photographers who want to shoot them…

Tokyo Trains

On August 6, 2010 · In places, things

Everybody travels by train.  Everybody. In a country with an inhabitable size of New Jersey but with a population half that of the entire U.S., trains are pretty much the only option.  But they are efficient.

The Manga is dead…

On August 6, 2010 · In people

…long live the cell phone.

When I lived in Tokyo in the 80′s and 90′s, people escaped into thick phone-book sized “manga” comic books.  The kids had space-ship manga’s and the men had their soft-porn manga’s. Now, the world’s forests can breathe a sigh of relief as demand for manga has been replaced by cell [...]

Meet George Jetson

On July 28, 2010 · In people

This is the future and it’s not the American homophobe of individual, personal space capsules; it’s the embracing, sociable Asian open-air style of mass transit.  Entire families ride these things.  Couples, friends, even strangers ride alongside each other through the maelstrom, chatting with each other on the same bike or across to each other on [...]

Trams and People

On July 25, 2010 · In people

On Sunday morning I took a double-decker tram across downtown to Causeway Bay, where people crowd even on Sundays to shop.

Behind a tram is the safest place in the entire city to ride a bike. Just be careful not so swerve!

Actually on Sundays it is even more crowded because that is a holiday [...]
