<p>I thought it would be nice to drop in and share a few photographs from my last year or so seeing as it's been a while since I posted. These are all from my year in Vietnam, are all shot on film, and are predominantly Pentax:</p><div></div>

<p>It's been a long time since I last posted; I'm in London after a sojourn in Vietnam for over a year. I'm still shooting my MX and 50mm, this is from last month...</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings.<br>
Having, recently read a book called 'Golden Section' by Scott Olsen, I noticed when watching The Decisive Moment video (http://vimeo.com/20047490) how many of his photos correspond to the compositional tool of the golden triangle (three triangles forming the frame, all three with the same angles but each of them a different size).<br>
In addition, he is heard to say himself that <br>
"The greatest joy for me is geometry, that means a structure... it's a sensuous pleasure, an intellectual pleasure at the same time to have everything in the right place, it's a recognition of an order"<br>
I have highlighted his use of this tool in the following examples of his photos and would like to follow these with examples of my own photographs which appear to use this. I hope that you too will follow with examples of your work which exemplify this ratio.</p>
<p>Regards, </p>
<p>George</p>

<p>I've returned from Vietnam and begun sorting through the negatives from my year long sojourn. This from my MX, 50mm and a big window on expired Neopan 1600.</p>

POTW May 9
in Pentax
<p>Greetings from Da Nang, Vietnam. Took a bump on a motorbike two weeks into my stay and fractured my olecranon (elbow) so I had to fly to Saigon and get pins and plates put in it, but it's on the mend now, I'm within a degree or two of full extension again. Meant my P&S olympus stylus epic has seen some use. Just started shooting the MX again now that I'm two handed. This from a home for orphaned and abandoned babies, the child is blind and has numerous health problems.</p><div></div>

<p>I've been using a couple of MXs for the last two years, always used the SMC M series 50mm 1.7. It handles wonderfully and despite a brief stint with rangefinders, I've found myself returning to it. It's well balanced and quick. Here are a few shots:</p><div></div>
