Sharing a collection of Saigon pictures taken over a 1 year period.

All the pictures of Saigon below are taken by Stephen McGrath who is an Australian teaching English in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon. With capturing the daily lives of Saigon in mind, Stephen went about shooting them using a combination of hand phone, point-and-shoot camera and DSLR. The captions accompanying these Saigon pictures are all written by Stephen.
