  1. Crossing My Path

    Hoi An Vietnam, the streets bustle with bikes along the river in the early morning hours. The warmly painted buildings provided a lovely backdrop.

  2. Anything with wheels

    Public transport in Guinea, West Africa consists almost entirely of "bush taxis" -- decrepit Peugeots abandoned decades ago by Europeans, driven across the Sahara and patched together with electrical tape and sheer determination. Uncomfortable would be an understatement and you never know when - or if - you'll arrive, but you can't help but bond with your fellow passengers and learn to laugh at all the absurd adventures of the road.
    It once took me 31 hours to cover 200 kilometers between Guinea and Mali.

  5. Hoi An Market Girls

  6. Rowing in Halong Bay

    Vietnam's Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site characterized by beautiful islands. As I watched this determined old woman rowing across an open expanse of water as she has probably done many times, I was reminded of how rarely we travel long distances under our own power.

  7. Saigon Traffic

    Saigon motorcyclists temporarily stopped - in a dramatic break with tradition - at a red light.
