Travelogue
私は旅行を楽しむ。私は少なくとも過去20年間は定期的に行ってきましたが、異なる文化や風景を持つ多くの国に行ってきました。
しかし、日本への私の旅行経験は、私が今まで持っていた中で最も報酬の高いものの一つとして際立っています。歴史的な人工物がいっぱい、面白かったです。近代的かつ現代的で、清潔で簡単に旅行者が歩き回ることができました。しかし、それを特別にしたのは人々でした。
だから、このショーは私の日本の友人、特に守、渡、憲、紀子、そして多くの人に捧げられています。あなたの国で私を歓迎してくれてありがとう、ありがとう。あなたの寛大さとおもてなしに感謝します。その後！

Forty years ago, a North Vietnamese tank stormed the front gates of the Presidential Palace in Saigon, effectively ending the long war referred to by the Vietnamese as the American War. I photographed both the tank and the gates a year ago while visiting Saigon.
