hello. Since 2 days I am not working for rebranded anymore and something tells me that is so far the last time I worked as a designer. I had a good time with my working colleagues and I am actually happy about the fact I did this job. First of all to realize again that graphic design is dead so far. Nice though I have some good new friends through my work. Thanks boys and girls.
Well as you can see I uploaded some new pictures on my flickr account. But I can tell you as well that I am working on a new pflock.com. Exciting. So back to the pictures on flickr. Most of them I took when some people from the acwp organisation showed as around and introduced us (yenlinh and me) to several projects and kids. It was amazing and gave me a new kick, doing photojournalism again. When we visited the school I felt 100 years back in time and when I saw a man holding his psychatric sick wife on a long iron chain. So I felt another 100 years thrown back. It was amazing to see the country side of Vietnam. I stay since 3 month now in Vietnam but never saw stuff like this. I am pretty sure what I saw is not really unique in Vietnam.
The day before we visited all these projects I spend almost the whole day in the bloom restaurant, took pictures of these young guys and I tell you we had good fun together. The target in this project was to get the young people more self confident and more secure in what they’re doing and saying. And I think I hit the spot somehow. I am not 100% sure about the selection, so it takes a little more time to publish the stuff here in my blog.
So now I am free again from work. Have some projects by the side, want to go to Malaysia and see a little of more of Saigon. Inside Saigon. Try to get some stories (i.e whats going on his hospitals in Saigon) and see what happens. In the end of this month I travel to Cambodia with some buddies. After I come back I think its kinda time to carry on. Lao, china, India. I will see what is waiting for me out there.
For myself: I feel good, really good. I am just happy with my way of life, happy with my decisions and happy with what I am doing. Sounds good doesn’t it.
