I found these in the same shops as the black and white portraits. I think she may have been a famous actress in the 60s . . . maybe chinese?

I had a accumulated quite a few of these portraits while in Saigon. I am going to try and post at least two or three on a regular basis so I can finally scan and archive the entire collection.

roadside cafe
You can drink your coffee beside neon lit fish tanks enclosed in plexi cells. The coffee was excellent as was the decor.

surf’s up
Who is this man?! I found these photos at a vintage bookshop recommended by a friend. There were at least 5 more of this man trying out seductive poses in the surf. He sometimes posed with kids, sometimes with other men. But i opted for the ones that had not one but yes . . . two sexy beach poses superimposed in a single shot.

vintage vietnamese portraits
subjects unknown. Dating anywhere from 1951 to 1985. Some are ripped out of albums some have notes written on the back. Lost memories floating aimlessly though space and time. I bought 60 of them . . . going back for more next week.

paper pack bought at the market
All of these came in a plastic pack and sold at the same stall as incense, paper clothing (for burning), candles, etc. Its printed on very delicate cheap newsprint type of paper – maybe this is for burning too? It could also used for lunar new year . . . but i have to research this further. My favorite is the last smaller piece showing a herd of hilariously expressive farm animals. Click for a closer look.
