His photos are a visual diary of Tokyo and his life&#8217;s experiences &#8211; allowing him to &#8220;&#8230;hang onto what continually vanishes&#8221; and to &#8220;capture the minute splinter of reality that is a fleeting moment&#8221; (from his <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelnguyenphoto.com\/about\/\">bio<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Watch the interview I did with him above, and see more of his images below.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Photos by Mike<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-1.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-2.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-3.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-4.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-5.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-6.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-7.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-8.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/?action=view&amp;current=MikeNguyen-9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/blog\/mike%20nguyen\/MikeNguyen-9.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Mike Nguyen Photography\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Follow Mike<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/michaelnguyenphoto.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thericerocket26\">Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>What feelings do you get from Mike&#8217;s images and what do you think of his images of Tokyo?
