”I was privileged to call Hoi An my home for just over a year. As a visitor I will only ever understood a fraction of the activity that keeps the streets and waterways alive. I wanted to capture and share some of the sights that inspired me during my time in this historic town.
Hoi An has effectively been preserved in time from it’s days as one of South East Asia’s busiest trading ports. Each day the morning calm disappears in a frenzy of activity as everyday life starts over. Whether it’s conical hatted ladies conducting million-dong-deals or school girls in their perfect white ao dai uniforms commuting four-to-a-bicycle Hoi An is a hive of activity… That is, until about 9pm each day when the bustling streets empty and calm returns.”
