i am not a war child, but i have always been labled as a 'con lai'. my vietnamese family has all been affected by the war, but i've always felt that past has been swept under the rug. as i got older i've developed the desire to find out what is under the carpet.
so last year i headed over to vietnam for a 5 month adventure. there were many discoveries and revelations that have helped my understanding of vietnamese and myself. however, the search still continues...as a photographer i plan to return to vietnam and photograph the important things i have seen. there are alot of fondational changes happening right now, you can feel it in the air.
if you want to see some of my pics drop me an email
