This is a snapshot of Hanoi, my city, as I know it.

This project was conceived and completed in 1 weeks by myself.

As I moved to another town, I felt an urge and also a responsibility to pay tribute to the land that had nurtured me and given me so much.

A uber pretentious thought crossed my mind: What if I can show you my town, through my lenses, but in glorious black and white.

Hanoi is my town, and it always will be

(not intentionally plagiarized Woody Allen's "Manhattan" at all)

Please enjoy.

Below are some still frames from the project

Majestic tree in the public park "Bach Thao"

People crossing street early in the morning

Yes, we do have jazz club. We are civilized after all.

The divine music written and performed by Sidney Bechet, i think it tie pretty nicely with Hanoi's French colonial past

Thank you guys for watching ! Hope you can see my town's beauty as I see it.
