Marissa Roth, March 2012, by Hoang Thi Huong
The wonderful woman I was traveling with in Vietnam, journalist Hoang Thi Huong, took this picture of me on the final day of my three-week trip, just as the last shoot was finished on March 8, 2012. We were about an hour outside of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in a mangrove forest that was growing on land that had been defoliated by Agent Orange during the American war there.
This was the final trip for my entire project, "One Person Crying: Women and War", so in spite of the seriousness of the subject, a yelp of joy at the completion of this 28-year body of work was in order.
