Feel like crab

Maybe it's because the winter's almost up (crab season), maybe it's because my sister sent me pictures of her eating crab. But I really feel like eating crab or lobster right now.

Here are some lost pics of a meal I had in the back alley market in Saigon.

Got there early to watch them setup.

Love the colors here.

Before.

After.

Not the best I've ever had, but the experience counts for a lot.

Best thing about rain

Is how clean the air is after, and how shiny everything is when the sun finally peaks back through.

I have a soft spot for bicycles as well as scooters.

I forgot what this kid was setting up, but I think he was selling something.

My faves

Probably some of my favorite captures from my Vietnam trip occurred here. Something about the light quality made everything come out flat and painterly.

I like the way the candycane pole is bent. It would have been perfect if that shadow in the left corner weren't there.

Love how this turned out almost as a duotone. Would look great printed as a poster I think.

I wonder what they're selling.

Food

When I travel, my excursions are usually split up into two categories: Sights, and Food. Here are some pics from a food expedition in Saigon.

Light was harsh getting to this place so no pics of the journey here. This place was supposedly known for their pork and rice dishes. It was really good.

Walking towards the river.

Freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. This was probably the best deal and quality we had the entire trip.

Ridiculously cheap and good.
