A few months back I worked on a story with Mike Ives, a writer for The New York Times, about a Payments for Ecosystems program in the central Vietnam province of Lam Dong. It was a fun few days, and a great story as well. Who doesn’t like riding a motorbike through mountain passes and hills in the cool highlands of Southeast Asia? Read what is absolutely 100% more interesting than anything I could possibly say about the subject here: PES Vietnam.

I am a freelance editorial and commercial photographer living in New Orleans. This is my blog. I'm a big fan of the arts, music, and literature. And I tend to overthink things like internet bios. View all posts by Aaron Joel Santos
I have, through some research labyrinth, found your blog and I simply have to admit I am in love with your work. I have been scrolling for as ages and finally realised if I don’t stop now, I probably never will. I currently stay in Hanoi, have travelled through parts of South East Asia and plan to do a lot more traveling on this side of the world, but I have yet to find someone that can communicate its beauty and sorrow as well as you do. Thank you for your inspiration, I hope that one day my photography will possess a fraction of the weight that yours does.
Aaron, What a stunning piece—texts and photographs. It was beautiful, arresting and mysterious. Cathy forwarded the post to me.In fact, I mentioned you today in my class at Governor’s School here in Raleigh. We were talking about the changes that you have caught with your lens and language.I am just about to arrive at the bend of bay and hustle back to Howth castle and environs. Oh, Oh here comes everybody!My love to Caitlin. Love and Peace, Chuck
Nice photography!
