just finished an amazing shoot in Vietnam, having a beer now and everything is on charge for tomorrows shoot :)

I actually found some photos the other day that I shot about 20 years ago when I was just starting out with 35mm. I honestly have no idea why I shot most of them, they are terrible, but I can definitely see in them that I was struggling to be "arty", I shall definitely be keeping them for...
