  • Young Children, disabled by the effects of Agent Orange, are fed by caretakers at the Ba Vi Orphanage on Thursday, April 12, 2007. Severely disabled and abandoned at birth, 124 children live at the Ba Vi Orphanage and Elderly home near Hanoi, Vietnam. They are believed to be 3rd generation Agent Orange(a defoliant used by the US military during the Vietnam War) victims, but nothing is known about their family history and the center lacks the resources to conduct medical tests to prove such a link.

  • The home of Nguyen Qui Duc is located in the mountains of Tam Dao, Vietnam. Nguyen built his home to be ecologically friendly by having all the running water coming from a local resevoir and filtered organically. The home can be used as two seperate living areas. The older studio upstairs is built like a tradtional ancestral home out of all wooden panels. The more modern lowerlevel house is built from stone and concrete with giant glass windows and a connecting pool..Nguyen says he will offer his home as a free artist residency space. He will also use the place for himself he says 4 days a week to escape the city life of Hanoi(where he rents a villa) and where he can work on his own projects and just come to relax..His home offers a stark contrast to the surrounding homes in town that are built up while Nguyen's house is built cascding into the mountain.
