Windows to Vietnam
A Journey in Pictures and Verse
By Scott C. Clarkson (Photographer) and Veita Jo Hampton (Author)
Review by Allison Martin
Vietnam is surely one of the most photogenic places on earth and the images in this lovely coffee table gift book bring this vibrant country into your home.
Here you will find delightful, large format color photographs celebrating the land and people of Vietnam – its vibrant colors, ancient way of life, and active lifestyle. These lovely, yet thoughtful, photographs shed light on a beautiful country and its people, with hints of contradiction and a deeper thought, like Vietnam itself. Modern scenes of city life are commingled with the more traditional colors of the markets, rivers, rice paddies and the sea.
These remarkable pictures are accompanied by poems which riff on the themes evoked by the images - an intriguing merger of past, present and future in Vietnam today.
Anyone who loves Vietnam will enjoy this gorgeous gift book celebrating the country of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people.
