ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A woman walks her bike across the famous Japanese Bridge in Hoi An. It’s rare to get a clean shot like this in the ancient town’s crowded streets. But early mornings provide an opportunity. And despite being such a colorful city, the timeless nature of Hoi An combined with black and white here works.

AUTHOR
Hey, I'm Matt. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest (USA) but based in Vietnam, I am a travel, documentary and fine art photographer focused on capturing the beauty of Vietnam, SE Asia, the US West and beyond.

More than the places you go, it is hopefully the people you meet along the way, calling each one home, that leaves the greatest impression. For me, that has always been the true gift of travel: people, and the authentic interactions and conversations you keep with you from those journeys.

It is often on those same travels, and through the same interactions and experiences with others, that I find myself imagining just how easily our lives could be switched—that my life could be theirs, and theirs mine? That idea remains a constant source of fascination to me, and a key driver of my creative interest and work.
