I've long considered myself metaphorically homeless. The places I've lived, I've struggled to connect to place - with San Francisco being the most connected while Chicago has been the worst. I feel detached and distant overall, which likely speaks more to my own self perceptions than where I've found myself by happenstance or choice. Vietnam is different, though not without caveat. There is a place where I felt naturally at ease, relaxed and surrounded by meanings. The caveat of course is the culture existing there, while being one I appreciate, admire, respect and would love to be a part of, is kept at arms length by my being an American and not having been raised in said culture, nor faced the struggles of said culture. Travel is not life, despite how much one wishes it to be and these photographs, while attempting to show the chaos and peace of marvelous Saigon (HCMC), are an attempt to show my love for and forced distance by birth from Vietnam.

This side and the other side are different world.
There are a lot of signboards in the other side that is undeveloped area.
And those are turning to this side that is commercial center.
