In an attempt to cure myself of cabin fever, this morning I dragged myself out of the house, camera in hand. Something curious happens during the Minnesota winter, the light becomes exactly the right temperature to make every image look like a Stephen Shore photograph from the late 1970s.

I feel exactly like this. Hands tied, close to what I want, but unable to actually get there.

Very rarely jet lag can be an amazing tool. For example, had I not been a complete sleepless zombie last night i would have not been able to get up at 5 this morning to run out the door and start making photographs. The morning light in Saigon is radiant and beautiful. As I discovered this morning, if one gets up incredibly early, you can avoid the craziness of the moped traffic and actually see the ways the urban fabric has been constructed. So, it is. 8 am and I’ve already tackled my goal of photographing the Saigon river and surrounding environs. Absolutely beautiful, but i can only share a few quick digital composition shots.
