It might not be the most practical idea; apart, if you have a masochistic stream, use a medium format camera in street photography. There is the point of manual focus, choosing the right f stop and the timing all without a meter.

But it is fun as well. Handling everything with a not very well inconspicuous camera has on the other hand as well its charm as a lot of people are interested in the gear and you can get very quickly in discussion and having the possibility to take some good street portraits. B&W film is also very forgiving, and taking an 800 ISO film gives an excellent range to shoot in.

Walking around the Lenin monument this late afternoon, I got in contact with a group of skaters. This time from California. Like some of the other groups I met, they traveled from Hanoi to Danang to Ho Chi Minh City.

It seems that skateboarding is the new go-to in Vietnam.
