Photos by Adam Jones

These photos were taken during two months in Indochina
(Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam) from May to July 2009.


Photo Gallery 43: Vietnam - Hanoi

to Hanoi. Being back in a big city after the tranquil pace of northeastern Laos was something of a shock,
but I was soon captivated by the intense street life of Vietnam's now-booming capital.
