When I take photographs, whether it's homes in Land Park or my Sacramento short sale listings, I like to show close-up and personal aspects that one might otherwise not notice. There is generally a texture, a sub-layer, a fine nuance, which can be easily overlooked by viewers, especially online when it's so easy to just click on the next link.
It could be fine detailing in a vintage light fixture, an ornate cornice or the curve of a 1930's fireplace. The small yet important appointments. After all, it's the individual elements that comprise the whole, which are part of the big picture.
For that reason, I thought you may be interested in viewing the color, texture and fabrics of life in Viet Nam. Below is a photo gallery I shot during our December vacation:

Hi Elizabeth, loved the texture pictures. I really liked the fabrics and the dresses -- good color.
Interesting texture photos -- all the best for the coming year.

Awesome photos Elizabeth. That most have been a fantastic trip!
Wow! Those should be posted on Istock or Bigstock or somewhere. Gorgeous!
I love the textures and the vibrant colors Elizabeth and I like your idea about the intricate details that comprise the whole. Very nice post.
Hi Elizabeth... you have an incredible eye for photography. I enjoyed this presentation and how you deconstructed Vietnam into individual elements! Well done.
Interesgting extures and compositions. Great shots.
I think you had a wonderful trip. Thank you for showing us an area I have never visited!
your friend in Charlottesville!
Elizabeth - Your little photos provide patchwork quilt glimpses of amazing Vietnamese existence. Fascinating, beautiful, exotic and different are they!
What a wonderful trip! You certainly made it enjoyable for all of us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Hey, thanks for stopping by to view this, everybody! I had thought about posting them at 600 dpi, but I was worried the page would load too slowly. They really are better in a larger size.
I also tried to assemble the photos into a collage of sorts, but none of my software programs would cooperate . . . or maybe it's better known as operator error.

You are an amazing analytical photographer; did you find a lot of fabric being silk as well or more cotton?
I tried to comment here last night, but you and I must have had some weird out of sync thing going on because AR just wouldn't let me and then I read that it took you three attempts to leave me a comment.
I just love the photos and I feel the same way about showing details that make up the whole when photographing a house. I really enjoyed your vacation.
