Ron, thanks for some 'real world' documentary coverage of an interesting place.  Your shots have been an antidote to the photojournalistic clichés that I usually see. Please keep posting!

Thank you.  For me this is a departure from the usual emphasis on pretty western women in hot weather attire.  It also represents a change in presentation in this forum.  Before leaving for Viet Nam I did a search on street photography there.  It gave me some ideas on what to expect.  For street photographers, Viet Nam is "to die for".

I am very pleased with the amount of interest this series has recieved.

Thank you John and Akira.  The following shots are from my last morning in Ho Chi Minh City before flying to Da Nang.

You may notice how easy it is to get the Vietnamese involved in the picture taking.

Thank you.  The three girls in red were studying English.  Their assignment was to go out and talk to English speakers.  That's almost as hard as doing street photography, LOL.
