Sins in Saigon
Written by Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo ·
It began to drizzle when the toothless motorbike man asked to take me home. It was about midday and I had wondered around the city most of the morning finding my way to Reunification Palace, a white square building no more than 7 stories with a retro 1950’s kind-of feel.
A child of the eighties I had a fascination with the Vietnam War, and I couldn’t leave Saigon without finding the places that lit my mind in Hollywood grandeur. Really, it was everywhere. The American GI Zippos that sold at every corner, the... [Read the full story]
Camera Talk
Prague in Black and White
Written by Tim Becherer ·
Call me old fashioned but when it comes to black and white photography, I like to use a film camera and my old trusty Canon AE-1 does the trick. I use a variety of lenses from wide angle to telephoto and Fujifilm’s Neopan stock, but that was my preference for the shots I planned to take on my trip to Prague.

Taichung Adventure in Taiwan
Written by Amanda Southall ·
Over a bowl of steaming soup in Taichung, Taiwan, I am tempted to ask my sister about its ingredients. The beef-broth soup was a delicious blend of tofu, chicken, noodles, mushrooms and a few ingredients I could not identify. However, one lesson I had learned during my trip to Taiwan was that nothing ruins a great bowl of soup like finding out the brown chunks I had been eating were actually cow stomach.
Located in west-central Taiwan, “Taichung” is aptly translated “Central Taiwan.” The city has just... [Read the full story]
