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:

modern commercial center.
