Saigon snapper

One of the blogs I subscribe to for my work at From the Frontline is MultimediaShooter. It occasionally throws up some excellent links that I probably wouldn't otherwise hear about. Today, I learned about the photographer Kevin German. Despite his name, he's American and he recently relocated to Saigon. He takes snaps like the one above. VervePhoto explains Kevin is a former staff snapper at an American newspaper, where he won an award earlier this month,

Former Sacramento Bee staff photographer Kevin German is off to Vietnam again. As is evident from looking at his site this young photographer shows exceptional promise. I especially liked his photo-essays about the truck stop in Sacramento and his time spent with Ben Underwood from the series “Echo’s in the Dark”. link

Kevin has a blog called Wandering Light.

Good to hear from you, Pieman ! You don't know but there is such a thing known as " Pieman withdrawal syndrome". I stumbled onto your blog about Vietnam 2 months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Eventhough the blogs are 2 years old I am taking note of the places you visited and plan to do the same when I go back to Vietnam this August. Are you ever going back there to do another series or a contrast-and-compare of Saigon street foods ( then vs. present)?

Thanks for letting me know Hoang Tran, very much appreciated.

I hope to go back to Vietnam and I am talking about it with one magazine. It may come off, there again it may not. I will certainly be doing a bit of comparing and contrasting should I make it...
