Blanketed - Saigon Vietnam
The motorbike culture in Vietnam can be quite hard to capture with a camera. The key is to be a part of the traffic if you can. Most of my best shots of the motorbike culture were while I was riding in a slower cyclo going at slower speeds, but still apart of the traffic. It allowed me to really get up close and capture the images with fast shutter speeds. This man is carrying a big delivery of blankets and of course can barely steer her motorbike; an everyday occurrence in Saigon! This picture was taken in the middle of summer in Saigon, so I can imagine how far he had to drive with those blankets until he got to a cooler climate!
