An evening photo of a small, mom-and-pop convenience store in a residential neighborhood in eastern Hanoi. We are looking squarely into the entrance, an entire open-air front wall of a multi-floor building. A Vietnamese flag and numerous flag and communist party banners run below a green and blue awning. Within, an almost incomprehensibly dense assortment of goods are stacked, shelved, and hung in a visually overlapping plenitude of reflective surfaces in the brightly lit space. Above the shop, we can just make out the dimly lit interior of a residence with Christmas decorations still stuck to the windows.
