Re-unite with some college-mates

I met Loc and Gin, two architects and old college mates of mine, again after more than 1 year. We're now working in different fields but that's just comfortable for us to share thoughts about the country and everything. We've chosen different ways to grow up and still had hopes about it.

Just some notice of the 'street' restaurant where we were sitting: they got the shelters out large enough to ensure all their customs feel comfortable even though it was raining heavily outside.

They love Saigon

Streets of New York

Oh the dream city that I still haven't been to.

Description:
I had a chance to go visit one of the greatest cities this summer. Right when I got of the plane and arrived downtown New York, I took my camera and strolled out through the busy streets of New York City. I wanted to capture the great culture and street aesthetic of New York and I think it turned out really well. The video includes recordings from both Manhattan and Brooklyn, where I spend hours capturing the culture and everyday life of native New Yorkers.

stuck!

Hanoi is raising the fee of car's number plate to 10 times.

The parking fee is also being raised.

There is 1 car license per 13 people, and 1 motorbike license per 3.5 people in The Capitol.

There are debates between people suggesting cars should be limited and people suggesting motorbikes should be reduced. Everybody, I think, knows it's not about cars or motorbikes but about infrastructural upgrading.

Stuck!

Aaaaasooommee!

Traffic in Frenetic HCMC, Vietnam from Rob Whitworth on Vimeo.

Description

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is an amazing up and coming city. 

This time lapse is a culmination of 10,000 RAW images and 

multiple shoots capturing some of the cities relentless energy

and pace of change.

Everyone who has visited Ho Chi Minh City, 

Vietnam knows part of the magic (love it or hate it) is in the traffic. 

Ever since I first set foot in HCMC I have been captivated by the 

cities energy. Saigon is a city on the move unlike anything I have 

experienced before which I wanted to capture and share.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the film and thanks also 

to the numerous kind people who allowed me access to some 

amazing locations.

Soundtrack to the video is the energetic Mondo'77 by Looper - http://z6.co.uk/sy

On a motorbike, in the streets

Usually I cant have shots like these for I can't handle a camera while driving. If I stop by, the shots would be from just one side of a street. This time, I asked a friend to pick me up on his expensive motorbike, more than my salary of a whole year, and take me around.
Well, here are some of the photos from my home to the city center. Some people might see they're meaningless. I'm sure some like them if they see their values.

Bokeh with a compact camera ?

My Canon S90 has a wide F1/2.0 len.
