EDITORS COMMENTS
As Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, draws near, the bustling streets of Saigon come alive with a vibrant sea of wheels and flowers. The entire population seems to be in motion on two, three, or four wheels as they transport an array of colorful blooms to adorn their homes for the much-anticipated festivities. Captured in this timeless photograph from February 2nd, 1973 by Peter Stone, we witness a captivating scene unfolding before our eyes. A cyclo gracefully glides through the crowded streets of Saigon, carrying not only its passenger but also a bundle of freshly purchased sunflowers. The woman seated inside exudes joy and anticipation as she brings home these radiant blossoms that will soon breathe life into her humble abode. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of Tet - a time when nature's beauty intertwines with human celebration. It showcases how bicycles and tricycles become vessels for both transportation and tradition during this auspicious period in Vietnam's history. Peter Stone's lens captures not just a fleeting moment frozen in time but also highlights the resilience and spirit of Saigon's people amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder that no matter what obstacles may arise, traditions endure and bring communities together.
