a glimpse of VIETNAM



This trip allowed me to sample North and South Vietnam.
A quick taste... a memorable glimpse of this charming country.
Please take a look at THIS PROMISING gallery of a promising photographer.
Pong was with us during that 7 day trip across Vietnam.

This gallery is dedicated to a friend, MY LINH VU.
Without her, this trip wouldn't have been possible.
Thanks a lot!

New pictures will be added. Please come back for more.:)

I miss shooting with you! I felt like I was on a different trip in Vietnam with you, even though it was the same itinerary, the same train, the same bus. However, now that I think of it, it gives me two ways to experience the whole thing again, through your images as well as mine, and that is a good thing. PLEASE POST MORE, you have so many more amazing shots!
