The life of Saigonese in 1990

visavietnam.net.vn - The life of Saigon people more than 20 years ago is portrayed through the lens of American photographer Catherine Karnow.
American photographer Catherine Karnow – daughter of historian Stanley Karnow - arrived in Vietnam for the first time in 1990. In this decade, she had a few trips to Saigon. Thanks to her father’s prestige, she could travel throughout Vietnam. Favoring photos of scenery, people and the life in the city, Catherine was impressed by a growing Saigon after the reform period (1986). In picture: Saigonese women in 1995.
