Photography etiquette in Saigon

I love catching the quick photo

with hopes that I may have caught something.

As much as I love photographing people on the sly,

I feel it is important to be respectful of their space.

Having tourists jump up and down in front of you,

with a camera, must be annoying in the best

and worst of times.

With respect, I try to be polite...
