Interview: Frenetic City – Zhou HanShun

In this interview, Hon Hoang talks to artistic photographer Zhou HanShun.

With the unknown, our mind fills in the information gaps while we seek out what we believe to be true. There is beauty in that mystery and need of resolution. The sensation of the unknown is familiar to photographers. The need for exploration and resolution, whether within the world on within our minds. It is a familiar…

A Distant Dream: Medellin, Colombia

A Distant Dream: Medellin, Colombia Medellin feels as if it belongs to a dream. Forests sitting on top of mountainous terrain seem to go on endlessly. Traveling into the city from its outskirts, the mountains swallow up those who passthrough, with the communes cradled in the bowels of its valley.  As you make the descent, the view from up top provokes wonder. How did this large city come to be in an unforgiving terrain? Perseverance, determination and perhaps necessity would be the likely culprits. Unperturbed, the locals make their way pass uphill struggles in cars, on foot, bicycles, or through ingenuity, hitching themselves to back of trucks as it pulls their bicycles up the long trudge. Doing what is needed to enter the Municipality of 16 communes. I can't possibly put into words what others have already said about Medellin. Stating its rich history so much more articulately in articles, documentaries, and the many other forms of story telling it has been presented in. All I can hope to do is present the place as I saw it through the lens. The photo-series is from Medellin and other parts of Antioquia, an area encompassing the metropolitan. #colombia #streetphotography #colombiatourism #medellin #photography

Foreign Home: Vietnam

Photography & Writing: Hon Hoang

Finding the right words buried under two and a half decades of assimilation proved to be difficult. Perhaps it was my accent, my child-like vocabulary, or maybe everything about me was foreign to this place I thought of as home.

Being in Ho Chi Minh city after 11 years since my last visit feels different yet the same. The skyline has given birth to more towers…
