Below are preliminary sketches from a multimedia project on a decaying French colonial apartment block in Saigon. This building sits on one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in Vietnam, and is not long for this world. Inevitably, it will be demolished in favor of some sort of high rise/shopping mall complex. Until that happens, I’m hoping to spend some more time there with my friend Ben, tracking down a nicely layered story about the people who live here, and the stories behind the tattered walls.

I'm a photojournalism based in Hanoi, Vietnam. This blog is my little space to discuss my work, and contemporary photography issues. Enjoy....
