[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
.

At about the same age of this boy, half a century ago, I spent my youth here on the same Perfume River, sometimes sneaking away from elementary school or eluding parent's control...

Returning to my birth city I quietly found the image of myself from the boy's. Everything is there, except the color of my hair has changed...

Hue City — I love You!

Welcom back to Houston chu Thanh....

Your note touched my feeling, no matter where I live or what laguage I speak to communicate. I am still "MADE IN VIETNAM".

Thanks for the first pictures after a long trip. Can't wait to see more.

We are about the same generation, from the same city of youth. Even though I was just a girl, I can feel your feelings as the above scene appeared in your viewfinder. At that monent, time stops, and yields the right of way to souvenir and memory.
Our Hue is still poor at the flow of national modernization, that's why Hue is still rich in its LOVE, PEACE and POVERTY.
Thank you for a great picture and lovely note.

Regards,

MQ

Hello Thanh,
I'm glad to hear from you!
Thank you for this image. I appreciate much the message conveyed here - a very special 'return'- speaking both in terms of 'space' and 'time'. A senzitive, thoughtful note.
P.S.
A warm welcome back! Hope you had a good trip! Please share it with us (through your pictures).
Best wishes.

Your picture gave me the impression of a Vietnamese version of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer.
You have captured the boy's posotion that speaks for himself.
Welcome back home in one piece!
