Dawn and I have just returned from what it has been one of the most fruitful experiences traveling overseas. It is hard to come back to the Wisconsin Winter, but as we slowly and fast at the same time make our way back to our daily routines, I will be posting soon photos and videos along with some of the stories from it.
To leave a general first impression, I will share here a photograph (below) that somehow became to me the perfect visual metaphor of how I did perceived the place.

Clocks repair man on the streets of Hué, Vietnam

I took this picture on the city of Hué of a man who repair clocks and watches on the streets as many of the businesses on the streets of the city set for all types of repair. The reason why it became a representation of how I perceived the country, is because Vietnam to me was like stepping into a window box where many different clocks are there on display, some of them running behind, many running forward, others running at perfect precision while others have stopped forever. And not matter what, there is always someone trying to make them work.
More pictures (hopefully some flickr albums) and Vimeo videos as soon as I squeeze some time between work.
Good to have experienced it, good to be back.
