EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A huge population of motorcycles is causing a health hazard in the centre of Saigon" takes us back to February 1970, amidst the chaotic backdrop of war-torn Vietnam. Kent Gavin's lens captures an alarming scene that unfolds in the heart of Saigon - a bustling city overwhelmed by an immense fleet of motorbikes and scooters. In this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but be struck by the sheer magnitude and density of these two-wheeled vehicles dominating every inch of available space. The image serves as a stark reminder that even amid conflict, life goes on with its own set of challenges and hazards. The visual impact extends beyond mere congestion; it reveals a deeper concern for public health. As exhaust fumes fill the air, mingling with dust particles kicked up from countless wheels traversing through crowded streets, it becomes evident how this motorcycle-dominated environment poses significant risks to respiratory well-being. Gavin's photograph transports us to an era when Saigon was teeming with activity despite being caught in the throes of war. It offers viewers a glimpse into daily life during those tumultuous times – where survival meant navigating through swarms of motorbikes rather than bullets or bombs. Decades later, this powerful image continues to resonate as we reflect upon how urbanization and transportation choices can impact our cities' livability and citizens' health.
