Bikes of Burden by Hans Kemp

Bikes of Burden by Hans Kemp

In Vietnam the motorbike is the main mode of transport, not only for people but for every imaginable and unimaginable product and produce. Without the motorbike the economy would grind to a halt. Bikes of Burden shows in 182 stunning, full color photographs how the motorbikes, the drivers and their loads ride around the cities and countryside in acts that defy your wildest imagination A photographic record of life in modern-day Vietnam. Colorful and quirky, it captures everyday life at street level, the life of a city and its people.

It's remarkable to see people boldly weaving through traffic with all manner of cargo on their backs- Mark Wilson, Fast Co. Design, May 14, 2014
Maneuvering a motorbike through a crowded city may seem difficult, but add carrying a load of hundreds of fresh eggs, baskets of pig entrails or rolls of barbed wire and the task sounds downright impossible. Dutch photographer Hans Kemp documented these incredible (and sometimes, dangerous) feats in Vietnam. - Camille Mann, The Weather Channel
